The tranquility of the morning was disturbed by my better half: "Jock, come into the kitchen. We have a problem."
We did, indeed, have a problem: we keep cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink, including a plastic basin that hold sponges, brushes, etc. It was 3/4 full of water.
It didn't take long to identify the source of the leak: the drain pipe from the left-hand side of the double-bowl sink. Bear in mind, I am not Mr. fixit; I do not have awesome skills for domestic engineering.
At a hardware store that had recently opened nearby, I had great difficulty making the clerk understand what I needed. So I returned home, took a quick snap with the LX100:
I went to my favorite hardware store (which is a bit further away, but has a track record of offering great advice) showed the picture to the clerk on the screen of the LX100, and explained where the leak was. He said: "Oh, I know exactly what you need!"
15 minutes later, I was home. Five minutes after that, the leak was repaired.
Don't you just love digital photography?
Cheers, Jock
