Crapola.
After a truly awesome time in Vegas (pics to come), I got home to a ssshhhh-ing sound in the house. The cold weather had burst a pipe in the basement, and it sprayed for at least a day, if not two. Not too much was damaged by the wet, as at least it was pretty much right above the floor drain. Also, it was a really simple fix, if you are a professional plumber with all the right tools. (Which I am not) So, for a 20-minute visit, I'm out close to 500 bucks. Wipes out all my Vegas winnings, and then some. But at least the water is on.
