Tewa wandering around checking things out!

So, we've been in Phoenix at Jim and Sarah's for two weeks and it's been great. 








Michel has been keeping busy with a plumbing project in the ensuite.  

A leak had to be found and it was coming from the shower ... somewhere!!  As it turned out the job was a very big one, and much more physical than Michel had thought it would be, but he persevered and after two weeks he can be proud of the job he did!









First job was to jack hammer out the shower floor in order to located the leak.








Here he found huge roots! This leak had been feeding these roots for many years. What a mess....but, once these roots were cut away he was able to find the leak and fix it then begin the new shower floor. 








After many trips to Home Depot for supplies and equipment, and many bags of concrete (26 to be exact, all carried and mixed by hand) the shower was ready for tile. 










Of course the original tile is no longer available so rather than try to match the tile they decided on contrast. 

The end result is pretty nice. Sarah is more than happy with it!

Michel likes to keep busy and this 'project' did just that!
