aslantthere is a burst water pipe in the basement. or rather, in the wall between our bathroom and the basement stairs. there's a waterfall going down the rickety wooden basement stairs and over an inch of water down there. i went slogging around in it in my boots because i was terrified it had seeped into the boxes with my old journals in them - so i went and propped them up on other stuff.
god. so much water.we are waiting for the sillari's plumber to call us back.
all fixed, sort of. apparently our shower valve has been leaking into the wall for a long time, too, so he had to fix that as well. the fun part was listening to him curse to his assistant about the plumber who fixed our pipes last year, because he broke a huge hole in the wall & never fixed it. which probably has a lot to do with why they burst again. you know, who needs walls? it's 15° below? let them burst, who cares. it is pretty amazing to me, though, that frozen water is strong enough to break metal.
sigh. the sillari realty/plumbing/funeral/law syndicate is so corrupt. it's fun to be a part of it, except when they screw you over.
