I noticed a small spot of water on the basement floor this morning and
looked up to see a tiny pinhole leak in the copper pipe (tube?) directly
above. It leaks a droplet every few hours, so it's something that a rag
is
absorbing for now.
I have always heard you can push a pencil in and break off the lead.
Never tried it though.
When I have nothing but a pencil left to try, perhaps I will. (-: The
pinhole is so small I don't even think I CAN get a pencil lead in there.
We're talking two or three drops a day - just enough to leave a mark on the
floor. You do win the "most unusual solution" award, though. g
