Pipes broke!Well tonight one of our pipes broke. I'd been complaining about my laundryroom's pipes being frozen and habitually bursting every winter once temperatures get above freezing and it begins to thaw but it WASN'T those pipes in question. those pipes are actually running well now (as of last night at least, knock on wood!). i am there sitting in the living room thinking i'll indulge in a little tv time to myself and i hear a loud BANG and what sounds like a faucet running from the kitchen. at first i thought my OH was just being noisy (he has a great gift for that) but looked over again to see he was not there and little kitty kuan yin was staring at the direction of the sink wide eyed. so i jump up, look and the sink is not running water..what in the world...look down and water is gushing out of the bottom cupboard where we keep all the cleaning supplies locked away. i yell to OH (THANK HEAVENS HE WAS HOME) and he dives head first into this eruption of water and turns a valve off that connects to our backyard hose outside the window. i guess this whole time i was worrying about the laundryroom this winter we were neglecting to remember the pipe that burst tonight. it must have finally thawed. all i can say is thank goodness this happened shortly after OH got off work...i really don't think i would have known what to do or even what valve to reach for..probably would have looked like an i love lucy episode gone awry with cursing, LOL. so that's my exciting pipe story. OH is passed out on new medication and vows to recheck it in the morning before work.

I hate burst pipes - such devastation can be caused by water. Remember when my Mums pipes burst in the attic many years ago. Panic takes over and you don't know where to start. At least you got it stopped. |

Thank goodness you weren't on your own Tink! Let's hope that's the last burst pipe episode for this winter...  Glad everything is back to normal now..  |

That's a major worry!!! We have that at the moment but not as dramatic; loss of central heating pressure and a leak just discovered - initially thought to be in the kick-heater but now seems to be in the pipes within the wall  Heating is off (another ) and there's carnage in my kitchen so I've got to order a curry  |

Thanks everyone. I really don't know what I would have done if he wasn't there. I woke up this morning after OH left and he has fireplace on and fan in front of the cupboard so I guess we're trying to dry out the inside of that cupboard. He mentioned last night that after various other problems that have occured we're going to have to eventually tear out that wall and really get into there Well, I'm not going to worry about that yet And Yola, I think a good excuse to order curry is a great thing  |
