You ever have one of those days where you know it's going to be one of those days? Yeah, me too. Today was one of those days. I arrived home shortly after Jen and Marcus, who were both downstairs in the basement which had flooded, or more specifically was flooding. Water was running out of a failed joint in the pipes and appeared to have been doing so for an hour or so. Jen had been home over lunch and everything was fine. I had a buddy come over to look at some of the remodeling I am working on, and he said everything was fine when he left, so I know things were OK up until around 3p, give or take.
It was fairly easy to see what had happened, and the cold weather appears to have been a factor. The termination cap for the exhaust fan had frozen somehow (not sure how that all happened yet) and pushed a section of the water pipe loose. It looks like the solder on the joint failed as it broke clean and is easy to reconnect. So tomorrow I review the basics of sweating and soldering copper pipe and then I have work to do.
OK, some really good things happened today too. First, Bobbi Sue sent me a couple pix of the little man from Xmas. One. Two. Then more facebook happened - I just love that thing.
