all over his house.Pier home. This is actually his mothers house and he's been working 12's and couldn't get there till yesterday evening.Looked like 3 waterfalls under the home. He went to get some cpvc from Home Depot and as he'd fix one section and turn the water on another 2-3 would pop up.
Felt so bad for ole boy.

He must be new to the emergency repair game no matter what the trade, always buy more than you thing you need and KEEP what you don't use.

Been there and done that way to many times for my Mom. Being the only child that lived close, it was a PITA. Now that momma had passed, I would be more then happy to be under her house to fix those pipes.

been cutting my water off at night (at the main) - keeping water in containers in house - just when hard freeze warnings are issued

I just knew i was going to have to buy another damn washer till I got home and felt water all over the back of the washing machine.

Same exact thing happened to my brother and his wife.
