water water...NO WHERE

Another day in the life of the Kelley's. Dennis got up early to go to the bathroom this morning at about 5:30. He came back in the room at around 8 to tell me that the water was not working. It was so cold out that the pipes froze. This isn't the first time that this has happened, but normally we shake the pipes, turn up the heat in the house and they unfreeze. Not today. We tried shaking and heating and heating and heating. We had the house temp up to 85. Granted it felt pretty good, but water would have been better! We tried blow drying the pipes. We tried putting a heater in the water closet..still nothing. We finally got a hose hooked it up to our neighbors faucet and pumped hot water through while I pushed it against our faucet. It flooded our bathroom, didn't realize the water was coming out around the towel..BUT..it finally worked we melted the ice enough and finally got water back at 7PM tonight!

I felt useless all day, couldn't do laundry, I couldn't do dishes. It's weird how much water is used in our daily lives! Well I'm happy that it's back on and now I'm exhausted from having no water and not being able to do any chores all day..HA!

Well that's it in a nutshell...for today.
