Cool, clear, water........NOT!!

I don't think it is ever going to stop....er....in our case start?

The water started flowing to the the outside thing where the hoses go to water the yard. It is maybe 20 feet or so to the right of the well house. Yea! Right? Oh you would be so wrong, my friends.

Mitchell goes into the well house to check the guage....the well house is now flooded, an "L" shape piece of plastic pipe broke! Yes, I am serious. bwahahaha Oh, and top it off....it filled up water in the area outside the well room with the retaining wall around where the pump shaft is. What a freaking mess.

He ran down to our little hardware store to get the piece of pipe and the glue stuff for pvc pipe. Oh did I fail to mention, it is now about 15 after 5:00? Can you guess what I am going to write next?? The hardware store closes at 5! Of course it does. This is the crappy middle of forsaken nowhere.

He came back home and used shop vac to get the water all cleaned up. Yea for shop vacs. Awesome contraptions.

Here we were both excited to think we would have running water to the house, cause of part of the pipes in one direction were able to defrost, the rest should do it tomorrow. Ha. Guess not. At least not for me anyway.....till he can get off work, get the part, glue it all back together. Wait two hours for it to dry and then give it a a try.
 

Call the landlord I heard you say? Why? What good is he going to do in Vegas? And the only well person is in Fallon....and probably going to need a couple of days to get us scheduled in. So...................on goes the sage of water. :)

I wish to make note that Mitchell must be a saint somehow.....he just sighs and does what he can for each step along the way. I love and appreciate him. Just so you guys know.
