Today, we had just driven into the city, picked up our friend Mikimi (who lives on the other side of town), and parked the car to walk over and get shakshuka (eggs cooked into a savory tomato sauce), when Zion, our kablan (the contractor who built our house) called to tell us that the plumber was at our house and needed to get in. So, we ordered our shakshuka to go, and David and Mikimi waited at the shakshuka place while I went, got the car, and drove over to pick them up. There's very little parking in the downtown, where the shakshuka place is, but I did find a spot where I could wait for them almost right across the street.
When we arrived back home, no one was here, so I called Zion and he got the plumber back a while later. It turns out that the problem was with the faucet that connects the drip system that water our yard to the water supply. The water had then been running from there along the pipe into the basement, where we had found the drip. Anyway, replacing the faucet only cost 250 shekels (around $75), which is quite reasonable, and the plumber also gave me a receipt that should help me get the water bill (around $1000 for 2 months!) reduced somewhat at the municipality. We'll see exactly how much that will be.
