So, I was BOMA at my job today and got to thinking about our house. I was wondering, since we are headed for some really cold weather tonight, what if the pipes burst? Where is that emergency water cut off again?
Tonight, I am sitting here, watchin' the news, and veggin' waiting for the laundry to finish washing, so that I can go walk the Chihuahuas in the cold again, when I heard this odd noise. It came from the downstairs bathroom. The kitty litter box is down there. It's not a room that we utilize as a bathroom. We flush the potty at least once a week to keep it from becoming icky.
Since it's the cat's space and cats are always up to something, I didn't give the odd noise much thought.
Well, the washer finished and it was time to go walk the dogs, but I realized that I needed to go upstairs to go potty first. I noticed that there was the sound of running water, but the washer was done and there was no water running other than a slight drip from a couple of faucets which was not enough to make that water running through pipes sound. When I finished and went down the steps to the basement level, the sound of water running was clearly coming from the kitty room potty. I opened the tank and immediately one part of the plunging apparatus shot up in the air at me and then the tank became a fountain!
Water began overflowing the tank almost immediately. I was able to quickly turn off the emergency valve and stop the water. 
Thank you Jesus!
Corey comes home tomorrow. She says that she will fix it this weekend.
Thank God for handy wives and emergency water shut offs! See what I get for thinking?
