Joys of Home Ownership, Great Restaurant

 The only item the home inspector flagged on our condo was some moisture around the guest bath toilet base.  A new wax ring needed to be installed.  Of course, it is never that easy:)  I noticed one of the bolts was loose and I thought it was broken.  It turned out to be a broken flange, which was glued in. It should be screwed to the floor - nope - glued into the pipe.  Since I own the flange, but not the pipe it is glued into, I repaired the flange with my trusted J-B weld epoxy resin.  I did learn at Home Depot, that they make a steel cover which can be screwed in over a broken flange.  I decided to replace the tank gaskets as well.  We got the toilet set and everything in place and gave it a test flush- water everywhere- coming from the tank bolts- but only when it flushes- hmmm.  Took tank off and reseated it on the new gasket.  That was the problem. All fixed.  Today, I replaced the shower head, caulked the shower and replaced the handles on both the faucet and shower. The guest bath is good to go until we do a major overhaul. We are a ready for guests :).

This afternoon we decided to try a place recommended by one of our neighbors for lunch-  Mazzaro Italian Market.  Wow!  What a great place.  This is a huge market, with wine, beer, fresh pasta, fresh roasted coffee, a bakery, gelato, cheeses, a butcher shop, fresh produce and all kinds of  imported products. Amazing!  Catherine got a  grilled portobello wrap and I got a grilled caprese (tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella) sandwich.  They were both delicious.  My mind is buzzing with all the good meals I can make with those products.  I foresee many trips to this market in our future.

We are rocking right along getting the condo in shape and planning our next road trip.
