Poor choice of words: Cool is not my fave right now. Waiting for water damage assessment/contractor shortly. My wonderful plumber came over in about an hour to fix the frozen/burst pipes--took about 5 hours and his price was decent! Of course, Boss is nice and warm at JFK getting ready to fly FRA rotation--back to backs! It's all on me to make it happen.
PS--Bengals game was typical for them--get the fans cranked, then blow it so badly. At least I'm not a Lions Fan! AND no chance of playing at the Sourdough Bowl...

Wow! I had the same thing today. My neighbor called me and said "DD, are you washing because your pissing water down your driveway". Got home and it was a clean break by the weld on the copper cold water pipe. Plumber came within a hour. Shut off the water , I lost 2 1/2 gallons per min. There goes my water bill...
I knew once the upstairs had no water (2 days ago) to open the faucets and pray. When I heard some weird popping sounds, I knew I had to wait until a thaw for the rush of water to cascade into the basement. Hit the shutoff valve asap but there really was no way to tell where the split (s) were until later. All the pipes were concealed and along exterior walls.
I hate having to do this by myself--this is when I miss my father, who was an engineer and contractor /plumber in the old days.
