Over Winter you would think life gets quiet around here but we have many tourists arrive here via the tranz alpine and tour buses. It gets to be a dry cold with snow only on the mountains, much more bearable than when we lived in Northland.
This week we have enjoyed the rugby and we've been getting things done around the house. B has made more progress on building the outside deck and he changed the filter which was attached to our water system. B had been trying to remove the filter by itself but was unable to so he ended up having to buy a brand new system. We have lived here nearly a year and don't think it had ever been changed beforehand because it was covered in thick black stuff but from now on it will only need changing once a year. Quite disgusting really.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

I guess the black stuff meant it was working (or had been). Does the water taste different now with the new one? Congratulstions on your first year of being a Coaster.
Laidback street photo.
You have a very handy man. We had to change our whole water filter as well for a very similar reason. Without the black stuff. It just wouldn't come out.
A yearly change is essential!
Water filter is a pain to change. Where I live does not have a good access to any tradesmen
Yes with your own house you have always repairs to do. Small or great.
I am wondering. We have never had a filter system. Maybe we should!!
Glad you got the water filter changed, it did sound bad with the black stuff all around it.
...we don't have a filter, our water is just fione.
A year as a coaster! That has gone fast, from here at least. Seeing all that black stuff on your old water filter must have given you a fright!!
Our water seems good.
Looks like a nice sunny day, and you had a productive week!
Sounds like a lot to do.
