This is the daughter of the retaining walls. Now ordinarilly she would have called us to tell us that:

A - She had a busted pipe which
B - Meant that she had a boatload of water in the basement and that
C - She had gone to the BORG and bought a pump and was pumping the water out and
D - Could we bring the wet-vac over in the morning and could I check out the furnace and the water heater.

However she had just got home from school about 7pm. She teaches what we used to call Home Ec:-) and had stayed late to get lessons plans ready for next week because she has jury duty. To add to the fun our S-I-L was working late and he had the car. So the Mrs and I got to “help out” For once I am glad that we have cell phones as it saved us a lot of time and trouble.

I’m just glad it wasn’t any worse, this spring we will re- route the offending outdoor faucet and that will hopefully prevent the problem from happening again.

Sorry to see the pic of your themometer on the front porch. We had a couple of nights of temps close to 0 last week and it played hob with the process at work. At least I was on days last week and we had a good crew on the night shifts those nights.

Keep warm :-)

Regards
