Water, Water everywhere...............

Okay, lets add today's stuff then.

Mitchell came home around 10 to do the joints that were broken. Waited for awhile to let all the glue dry, open water....goes back to work.

I am in the kitchen around 2:30, doing what I can to clean up....basically puttering around wishing I could do some real cleaning....I keep checking the sink, although the faucet is left turned on....you never know. Anyway, I look out back, which I have done all day too......the snow is melting really good. Wait a minute?? That's not melting snow! OH Crap.......water....everywhere at the well house.....I tip toe out the best I can to get to it....sure enough ANOTHER spot broke this time. The well house is about 4-5 inches deep in water, inside the house, and outside in the retaining wall. I had to figure a way to get in to shut off the electricity......I found a grey tub thing, tossed it in the room, stepped in with one foot, used a plastic piece of pipe to sort of row over to the electrical panel, then turned off all the circuits....water stopped flowing, of course.

Now Mitchell is back out there....it appears this time, a whole piece of the pipe split. Up to the little hardware store, more pipe.....back to doing what he is doing...cutting and gluing parts together.

Interesting thing. The water out at the well.....is going down a hole just a tad bit from the side of the retaining wall. Where is it going??? Now mind you....it is A LOT of water....and I am not being shy by saying A LOT. Where would it be going if it is heading back under ground?? Is the whole darn thing on a hole of some sort and will it fall in??

I see him out there on the phone.....I think he is finally back to calling the landlord.

More later when I have something to share.

=======================================

 
OMG OMG OMG......I barely got that posted when all hell broke lose!!! In a great way. We have water flowing in the kitchen. It came on full force....for about 3 minutes and now is a real little trickle....which is to be expected, cause now we have to work the ice out of the pipes under the house. Can flush the toilet so the bath pipes are doing okay, it would seem. Maybe, just maybe it is all going to work out by tonight. Praise God!!!
