we had once a outdoor water line blow when we where not home, I think it was running for 2 days, uhhhh. a bill of $ 1600 in water los, darn, and then you get the sewer guys that bill you based on the water use, so another
$ 1000 (the sewer guis where fair, and voided the invoice)

interesting the insurans tells you that you are even not insures when you leave the house for 5 days (thy tell you to have a plumber drain your house.

at least in Victoria, whome drains there entire plumbing ?

in your case, be glad that the bucket was not overflowing on the floor, becouse the it was not only the aditional hydro to pay, your insuranse would tell you TO BA FOR YOU

always soor when aun expeted bill is in the mail !!

I trade you some cheap gas for some warm weather and no snow. It is -30 here right now and the snow in the yard is waste deep, just fallen snow not from shoveling the driveway.

Ya the sunshine and 4 deg weather just got rid of the last of our 2" of snow today. I might even have to mow my lawn tomorrow.
