Water Torture. Part Deux.

The last time we had a complete water malfunction, we suspected that by turning the water on and off at the main source, we were causing stress in the zillion years old pipes. So we fixed what we thought was the end of it and have been limping by with only hot water going to the beloved washer as the only side effect. Blah, blah, blah... we got cocky, turned off the water to tweak the washer lines and TA-FREAKIN-DAH we have ourselves another leak. A steady leak of scalding hot water. Wheeee! Not at ALL costly, annoying, or time consuming. No. We're fine. Really.

Dustin rented a concrete saw to correct the leak and we'll be back to "normal" again. Normal is, in our house, when you cringe to use a faucet because you are expecting a geyser of water to come shooting out thus drilling you in the chest, knocking you to the ground, and taking the other arm and leg you have left over as change from the last leak.
