It is Almost Like Art!

So what happens when the hot water tap
burst off the taps
on a very cold day in Canada.
There was water everywhere,
and there was so much steam from the hot water
I did not have access to the shut off valve
which was in the crawl space.
Note to self...need to be able to lift trap door!
Hubby saved the day as he rushed home from work,
in the meantime and there is no other way to put this.
I about froze my glass off.
....

I can be grateful it warmed up today.
All the ice crystals have melted,
I found new taps online
.......
I wonder how fast the tap flew by my head.
No one was hurt during this fiasco.
Have a great weekend,

    Hi Cinner! I stopped by to let you know that you won the Charlie Brown mitts at Picturing the Year:) Please email me your address and they will soon be on their way:) Oliag000@gmail.com.

    I read about your plumbing issues on both of your blogs and I have to say that I was just uplifted by the way you could find some good in the whole episode and by your sense of humour... These icy photos are fantastic too! More goodness out of the whole mess:) I think you are doing wonders with that new camera of yours!
    xo

    Hi Claire, I am so glad you left a note, I have been trying to comment on your blog the last few times you posted. all I get is a blank blog with your header picture. I went over and tried tonight and voila it is working. I was going to see if I could get a message to you. looks like it is working now...maybe it is wee doggies magic. hugs to you my friend.

    Bernie, I think it was a little colder here, something to do with the old cartridges and a build up of pressure and then the hot tap just blows. I think we have it now. it has happened twice now...I am threatening to call a real plumber, but he man of the jungle thinks he can do anything....lol. So far I am being patient. lol.
    stay warm Bernie. take care love ya.

    Now that is COLD. So so glad you were not hurt though. Did you come up with a plan so you can lift the door to the crawl space?
