Sometime Sunday night/Monday morning the two pipes to our upstairs shower froze and burst. Tuesday came the thaw and I came home to a waterfall in the dining room and study.
This is after turning off the water and some initial cleanup. The water had been running into our heating ducts … the water you hear in the video is just the water running out of one of those ducts.
I was running around like crazy trying to find the source of the leak … the only place a hadn’t looked was behind the shower. A couple minutes with the RotoZip and I found the leak, or at least one of them. Both pipes had actually burst and one of the joints had cracked as well. Had to make another trip to Lowes this morning to get a few more parts to find and cap off all the leaky spots.
Called the insurance company last night and they hooked us up with ServPro who came out and did some more cleanup and put out two big dehumidifiers and maybe 9 high powered fans.
That’s about it for now … we’re suppose to get a call (hopefully tomorrow) from Paul Davis Restoration who will be the general contractor for the repairs.
Here’s a close up of the one pipe:
We’ll post more once we find out what’s going to happen.

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with all the wood I’d been collecting. I really thought I was going to have to carry it into the woods. Amy suggested just burning it and a couple days later I was master of the elemental fire!

The next video will show how we took care of the extra wood …

A couple weeks ago we started a big project to clean up the back yard. This is the first video in the clean-up series.

I guess Emmy forgot the rule about NO dogs on the new sofa (she’s actually the only dog who comes in the newly remodeled “no-dogs-we-need-our-sanity” room — and that’s only because she can jump the gate with ease, so we can’t keep her out)…
