plumbing problems.....
ok, so...yesterday a gasket on the hot water faucet in the back bathroom burst....and though easily fixed did alarm us, as we had planned on going away for the long weekend, but never got around to making plans.....had we left we would have returned to a flooded basement and a huge eater/electric bill...it WAS the hot water.....and today...yet another plumbing problem....the pipes to the sink and bathtub appear to be frozen.....a problem discovered when i was trying to fill up my watering jug to tend to our numerous plants.....no water....and i must have left the faucet where it was, because all of a sudden the cold water came rushing out.....and while i was able to turn it off...the drain would not drain....which happens on occasion in very cold weather......and so i am waiting for the drain to thaw in the afternoon sum......the hot water has not yet come back on....no idea why the hot would freeze......

ok, so....since this blog my spouse decided to replace the faucet in the upstairs bathroom, and in the midst of it all the supply line was not well-sealed...and while he was in the basement the line burst, and by the time i figured out there was a crisis, there was water coming through the light fixture in the kitchen...which meant that the upstairs bathroom was completely flooded.....we seem to have all of the ends tied up at this point, and all of the water sopped up....and all of the towels are in the washer/dryer sequence.....and we are hoping that....well...better not jinx ourselves further
