The $1200 Shower

Well my birthday dinner and movie never happened this weekend. Our water softer had to be replaced along with a pump and some piping. Our water pressure had been low for a few weeks, so we called our plumber. Since we have well water, our water softer was clogged up with yucky stuff, preventing normal water flow. The pipes had narrowed from the build up of 11 years of well water yuckiness. The pump was working so hard to pump the water that when we replaced everything it couldn't keep up with the now normal water flow. Man had to go buy a new pump. So, $1200 dollars later we have a heck of a good shower now!! This all happened Friday night to Saturday morning. We had no water during that time, which is not fun. We cancelled dinner Friday night because I had a money melt down. No movie on Saturday because Man spent most of the day replacing the pump in the pouring rain. Overall I am very happy with our water pressure now, but bummed out because my birthday celebration didn't happen. I never knew our shower could be so great and for $1200 it better last for years!!!
