This Old @#%$@ House!!

Thursday, Jan. 15, we discovered we had no hot water at our house. I called Matt & he put in a new water heater & still no hot water! I got home from work & we ate dinner & still no hot water when it was time to do dishes. I opened the access panel that goes under our house to have a look & it was clear full of water! We have the best friends ever... 1 phone call & I had guys there with pumps to pump out the water & ready to do whatever was needed. We called a plumber (Matt was a little overwhelmed to handle by himself) and he was there in 20 minutes. He had to literally go under water to get down to see what was going on. Unfortunately, there was not access under the house to the pipe that broke. It was under the cast iron tub in our main bathroom. He came back the next morning at 7am and he and Matt worked to dig through the bathroom floor. Then they had to dig from outside into the bathroom and also take the wall out from my bedroom closet into the bathroom. After lots of mud and digging, the pipe was replaced and things are drying out. Matt worked the next 2 days securing up under the tub from all the rotted wood. Of course Tom was brokedown on the truck during all of this! Thanks to all of our great friends for all your help & especially my 2 boys for all your hard work putting things back together!
