Waking up in a hotel because we had a pipe burst and the quickest we can get a plumber in is Tuesday at 8 am.

I did bring containers to fill with water to bring home today.

That sucks. Although, with the amount of burst pipes, all things considered, Tuesday morning isn’t that bad. Our house is on a slab. I really fear burst pipes.

Right! I thought Tuesday was really good. When we thanked the guy for the appointment he seemed surprised. I can only imagine the mean comments he was getting because no one could come out on Christmas.

My first house was that way and I had the same issues with the "what if" a pipe bust under the slab.

House I've been in now for 20 years I designed. All brick exterior, lots of insulation, and on a 4 foot fully lit, closed (no vents) and heated and air conditioned crawl space fully sealed. Crawl still looks new under there, and A/C equipment that has had to come out and be changed one time had the installers saying the 16 year old one looked like it just came out of the box. No dust or bug problems.

Then again, I even put hurricane tie-downs on the roofing. So I was out to stop crap from happening.

This happened to a friend of mine as well. Sorry for the problems!

It could be worse! We were supposed to be in PA but the husband tested positive for Covid. We could’ve had an entire day of free flowing water.

Ooof. My friend lost all upstairs flooring and downstairs ceilings.
