Well, that could have been a LOT worse.
So I'm downstairs working with the candles. Had to use the sink, of course, to get water for the double-boiler...and got a leeetle bit too much water. The faucet chose today to quit shutting off. Happily, our favorite plumber lives just two doors down.
No damage, came upstairs, took care of personal business, drew water for sanitation purposes, have drinking water for me and the furs. Went back down, shut off the valve, and called A Plumber. Wrong plumber. Called Em, she and Becca called Dave (the RIGHT plumber), and he was here in minutes. New faucet tomorrow, and I asked for a shutoff valve by the sink as well. (Yes, I can replace faucets and have, but this plumbing is so old and fragile I want someone else to blame if it disintegrates while being worked on!)
Also, since the house is on "Special Watch" with the cops with Emily being out of town, I called and let them know Dave will be here tomorrow, please don't arrest him, he has permission.
