Micah went to change the faucet in the backyard yesterday. Well he was twisting it off, thinking that it just, well, twisted off.
Nope!
He twisted the WHOLE pipe off! When it was done he held his head close to the wall and he looked up at me and said "There is running water!" He put the pipe back in and tried to twist it back on and then listened again. "There is still running water!!!" So he takes off flying around the side of the house and I yell at Saige to come on and follow me. There is water dripping from the ceiling of the garage, water pouring down the back wall and a huge puddle on the floor. Saige thought it was GREAT! "It's raining in the garage Dad!" And she was running through the water.
"Electrical wires! There is electrical wires up there! Get Saige out! Where is the water shut off!!???"
At this point I'm kinda dumbfounded and I'm thinking "Water shut off??? Hell I have no clue!" Then it clicks in my head and I remember in Livi's room. So I tear off into the basement and run into her room with Micah hot on my heels. So he shuts the water off. We proceded to clean up the water and then start tearing into the ceiling. After that dang mess is done. We go back to the backyard and I am to stuff the pipe through the whole. Micah says "Man, I fucked up bad!"
Then we hear a little voice asking "Daddy fuck up?" *giggle* "Yeah Dad messed up. Don't use that word again"
So after a phone call to my FIL, Micah's cousin, who is a plumber is on his way up. $80 later(which if we had to call a plumber in on Sunday it would have been triple that!) The pipe was fixed, we had water and electricity again. Now we have to insulate the pipes back up, that was soaked, so they don't freeze this winter.
The joys of owning a house....
