Water

Be the grace of God I was at the house when the water was turned on. I saw the guys turning on the water and then I heard water running in the family room. Sure enough water was flowing freely from the wet bar area. Somebody had turned the faucet handle into the on position. This sink is also clogged so I am very greatful I was there otherwise I could only imagine the mess it would have made.

After that I walked around the house making sure everything was ok. I thought everything was ok but soon found out I was wrong. The next day I went over to open up the windows and heard a dripping noise in the bedroom with its own private bath. Not good. The shut off valve to the toliet was leaking. I emptied the container that is was dripping into and then ran downstairs to the garage and sure enough there was a huge puddle of water.

I called Bob and he asked if it could wait awhile. Umm, no. I found the place to turn off water to the entire house but needed a wrench of some kind to turn it off. When Bob arrived I told him where he could turn off the water but he told me he didn't think that was where you would turn off the water. Nevermind that I saw the guys turning it on there the day before. So he called the water company and told him where to shut the water off. Same place I had told him.

Bob found out how to fix the valve and will hopefully fix it soon so I can start cleaning the house... It's kinda hard to clean with no water.
