Now Sailing....

You tried to replace your water line without turning off the water first? That never ends well.....

But I see that Spilly was at least smart enough to call dibs on the floatie!

Well, as it turns out, it doesn't really matter if I would have turned the water off first or not. Maybe I should check to see if the water going to my icebox is on the neighbor's line.......

Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful at finding a shutoff valve. There is no basement or crawl space, and I ran my hand as far back along the pipe inside the wall as I could with no success. Dad's coming bck out with me in the morning, and at the very least, we're going to figure out how to shut it off back there. I can always buy ice....

Is there a faucet/sink in the direction the pipe leads to? My line comes from the kitchen faucet and the valve is under the kitchen sink.

First of all.... the good news is we quickly got the line capped, which is good enough for now since I can have my water back on. We'll mess with the icemaker when I have more time Thursday..... so I can get some sleep today hopefully and not fight off nodding off at work tonight like last night.....

Second of all, some investigating reveals that apparently there are no auxiliary shutoffs in the house outside of the lines directly leading to an outlet (At the kitchen faucet, leading into the washer, etc.), and whatever bozo set this up before I moved in just basically cut a hole in the wall to access the pipe (And the only reason there was a water line behind where the icebox was in the first place is because it leads to an outside hose hookup that is on the other side of the wall... for the record, my icebox is isolated from the sink/washer dryer, etc. which is all along a different wall) and the only way to shut off water anywhere along the line inside the wall is at the main shutoff....

Maybe by Thursday my kitchen floor will dry out.....

I don't know if you could cap that with a 64 cent copper fitting.....

Maybe I could send ES down there to stick his finger in the hole......

Nah, that way he's still in the country, three states away. Big states and a very long distance, to be sure, but still in the country.

Now Hawaii -- that puts him halfway across the Pacific Ocean. He should leave now.

[MarleysGh0st]

Well, if that's your reaction, I have to point out that Hawaii is still in the country, Sprots.

Good grief, Marley. Part of the country or not, it's still halfway across the Pacific.

Knew there had to be something behind that avatar. I had my sink back up today, actually water shoot up from the drain like a geyser. It took five inches of rain in a couple of hours to do the trick. No cats here though. More rain coming but hopefully not enough to need my own ark.
