What an ending! The husband saves the day :) you're right, sometimes we get so attached to a probably problem that we fail to see all the other things.
OMG this brings back such a vivid memory of doing the same after my father died when I was caring for my bewildered Mum in a house which was run on makeshift make dos, not all of them legal, like pumping water out of the adjacent canal into the leaky swimming pool. Only problem was I left pump hose in and woke to half empty pool. You would have liked my Dad Sarah - he was devoted to the art of making things last. I still wear his 50year old raincoat.
wow, what a coincidence about the pool! Your father sounds like a very lovely and practical man. I also love that you still have and wear his raincoat!

Yes. I had a good laugh about the simple solution, after a few hours cause I was so embarrassed haha.
