[Iowanian]

This morning I was awakened by my kids asking what a sound was....brideowanian goes to investigate and hollers.

One of my PEX shutoff valves under the kitchen sink had popped during the night and was spraying a solid stream of watcher inside the cabinet....under my wood floor, down the inside of the wall, into the basement carpet and ran under the door Tom my vault and was under...the wood floor I have in there. I had a damn mess.

It's Sunday in a small town...hardware stores aren't open...people are gone for spring break and in church. I shut off the water and send four Tex messages. In half an hour I have located a supply of per tools and hardware includimg two valves.

I spend four hours shop vacuuming and rug doctoring up water. I've got fans blowing and a couple of dehumidifier blowing. I then used my super duper handyman skills to clip the pex and put in a new valve.

It's a pain in the ass and I'm trying to decide if I need to open up the walls to blow air into them....but it was a day the MRs was glad to have hitched up to a deplorable than some bun wearing snowflake.
