Chris had just told me our water bill was like $250. We were going to call the water company and tell them they needed to re-read the meter. We rarely go into our guest bathroom, so I was surprised the last few times I went in there because the floor seemed RILLY sloopy slopey in a way that didn’t seem familar. I also heard this gurgling coming from under the tub a few days ago and thought… huh… that old drain must be getting clogged again. Then the other night, I was realized with dread this “gurgling” was the sound of water RUSHING fast under the floor, splashing into a pool under the house!!!
Well, the water main has been shut off since Friday night and I filed a claim with the insurance today. No telling how long that broken pipe has been gushing, but the resulting mud rising against the wooden piers and subfloor will have to be excavated before plumbers can even fix the plumbing. The first plumber company we called could not find a man small enough to even crawl under there. I am sure those old piers are rotting in all that standing water, and mold will grow on the subfloor. Either I am about to stretch a fat, fat, fat check for my kitchen remodel, or I am fixina cry, cry, cry.
Chris somehow thinks this incident is my fault since I was the one who wanted to buy a house. Would one of you homeowners please assure my dear wife these things happen and it is going to be ok???
I have been outside painting and hauling stuff all afternoon and I RILLY need to at least wash my hands. Good thang I have a friend with a swank new apartment cuz I might have to sneak over there to take a fucking shower! LOL
