What a *^%$%Y up day!!

My wife went in to the laundry room yesterday morning and coming from the water heater closet there was water everywhere. Water was all the way out to the center of the den. A closet behind the laundry room was packed to the brim with stuff that belongs to my daughter in Colorado and it was flooded. The bedroom had wet carpet but luckily not too bad. My shop vac was down at a neighbors house so I had to wake him up this morning to get it.
I shut down the water and found a cracked fitting. Also found a copper line that was corroded and may have been seeping but not enough to call it wet. I started to go to supply house to get parts to fix everything and the battery or starter in her car took a dump so it won't start. I think it is the battery. On top of all of that the AC in that bedroom took a dump.


I fixed the cracked fitting and turned the water back on and spotted another cracked fitting but it wasn't leaking yet. Luckily I had picked up a spare so I installed it. Turned the water back on and a different fitting decided to leak so I took that one apart and replaced it with a Pex line and new fittings. To add insult to injury after I had sucked up the water, I knocked the shop vac over and made another mess that I had to vacuum up.


The wife had a training seminar that she has to put on that was going on until 9:00pm so she took my truck.

I ended up taking four tractor front end loaders full of wet stuff to the dumpster and dumped it. We have fans running and a couple of large dehumidifiers to help dry things out.

I have a bad back so today it is hurting, I am not walking too good but at least the water is fixed and things are drying out.

How is that for a *^%$%Y up day?




I have to question if the problems were caused by the earthquakes that we have been having.
