oh yes, the joys of living alone!! I live alone and have for 2 years! Its fun most of the time but sometimes its very trying! I woke up one day in Nov (the 18th, the day before my bday) and got up made coffee, had a whole day planned out... was standing at the counter drinking my coffee when something suddenly didnt seem RIGHT! Then I realized the water was running without stopping and I JUST KNEW before I even SAW, my hot water tank let go and my basement was FLOODED!!! So i went down and could not figure out how to turn off the water! Called every male I could think of, finally got in touch with my brother who helped me to figure out where the water shut off was (he lives in NM - it was 6am his time haha)
then I had to have my grandfather come over with a pump and my father to take me to the store to get a new tank and oohhhh man oh man..........I had to listen to my grandfather all day saying how a single woman should not own her own house!!! HAHA (hes old school) but I did have 2 men jumping in to help me so I guess its ok that I own my own house! (dad and grandad haha)
I had to use EVERY towel that I own to sop up the carpet downstairs while my grandfather pumped out water! OH WHAT a mess! But looking back and how panicked I was then, makes me laugh!!!! HAHA
Wires???? Thats Nothing NOW!!!! LOL
