what did I ever do to water?
Oh my. There is a creeping destruction running up my pipes. One after another, sections of plumbing are just going kaputz on me. It began with the main drain line to the city hook-up. Then, there was the day I came home and heard the sound of running water - HEAVILY running water - from *somewhere* and finally had to crawl under the house and shut off the water to the outside pipes because a joint had burst. That was the very first time I did it myself. So, in an emergency, I can get under there and, more importantly, get out again. BUT - I prefer not to.
Yesterday, mysterious water by the toilet on the floor, but not *from* the toilet. Hrmmmm. This morning, I found that the leak is from the kitchen drain, but the crack or break or whatever is between the walls and leaking out from behind the toilet. The coffee grounds were the key clue. I have no idea how the plumber will get to that spot unless he also has to crawl under the house, poor bastard.
and so...the watery drama continues...
to end on a bright note, I give you: Sunrise
