Holy fuck this is getting tiresome.
So I get home last night about 2:20 am and hear a hissing noise from the basement and smell natural gas. I go down to see what the hell is up and discover that at the bottom of the stairs is an inch of water. I hear more running from the laundry room and discover that the hot water hose to the washer has broken and is shooting fountains of water everywhere including into the furnace. In from of the washer where lint has blocked the drain there is about 4 inches of water sitting.
I cut the main water line as I could not get the tap shut off despite getting soaked trying to do so. Myth called cortejo to come help as Myth was dying of the flu. Together she and I bagged all the laundry and brought it outside and cleaned the laundry area up and dryed it.
Because I had smelled gas Direct Energy would not send a repair guy till an emergency inspector had been by. We waited for him till about 5 am and he relit the pilot in the hot water tank and inspected the furnace but it would not light for him. He tagged it unsafe and told us to call a repair guy. Cortejo passed out on my couch then and I vaccumed water out of the rug in the puter room for another half hour.
Up at just before 9 when the repair guy called and then off to run errands including buying another hose for the washer. This afternoon is more water clearing from the rug and doing scads of laundry before it starts to mold. I would love to sleep but no time to do so.
I am starting to get really really angry at the world.
Oh yeah and just as a bonus my usb hub decided last night that it wasn't going to work anymore leaving me with not enough ports.
