Leaky Pipes

Not too happy right now! Two days ago I layed down in bed with my daughter to read with her; as I looked up at the ceiling my eyes quickly fixated on a large brown spot! GRRRR!!!! So its 1 of 2 things I said; either a leaky pipe or a leaky roof! Neither of which I care to undertake at the present time. So I sent hubby up to the attic and he discovered it was a tiny pin hole leak (surrounded by rust) in one of our 30 year old pipes, YAY! So then I think well thats gonna cost more than a new roof, or the repairs on our 4 year old roof. GRRRRR, again! After inspecting the pipe and taping it up (temporary fix), we think "maybe, we could replace that piece of pipe ourselves?" Fast forward 2 days filled with swimming, snow cone making, and"exploring in the woods". I walk in the kitchen after coming home from the pool and what do my eyes instantly, magnetically go to? If you guessed,"yet another brown spot in the ceiling" you win! Only this time I don't know what its attached to or coming from! But I will venture to guess its another leaky pipe!
Yes I know my house is 30 years old, and yes I know its probably time but, I would still like to pass some of the blame on to our dear water district! About 6 months ago they decided (with the States prodding) that we must all change to surface water. That in turn changed the chemical make up of our water and is causing our pipes to be cleaned of all particles in them. Including the fragile rust that holds them in their nice "pipe shape".
I see a re-piping in my near future, or baths with the hose outside!
Who wants to lend me a few thousand?  Ahh, the joys of home-ownership!
 Until next time, I am off to ignore the problem (sewing), hey maybe it'll go away?
