oh joy do you hear the excitemnet in my voice what could be so exciting at 1:00 in the morning. i just found out that my main water line from the street before it attaches to the house broke. i was going to yosemite this weekend and in order to do that i have to take tomorrrow off to repair it. anyone ever use a repair service locally. i will probably dig it up and take a look at it in the morning to see if i can fix the problem other wise i get to shell out some bucks. anyone want to come play in the mud with me? not to mentions there is no water for everyone to get ready in the morning and all the toilets get one fluash. at least it wont be hot tomorrow oh wait it has been hot all week. ok rant done till i find out more

 

if it's broke before it got to your property side then the city
should fix it and not you. it's just like if it broke in the street.

 

yeah that is what i thought, but they said no and so did the researh i did online. its inbetween the meter and the house connection.

 

that sucks Loren, hopefully you can fix it.

 

yeah, that location would mean it is up to you.....is it in the grass area, or are you going to have to pull up concrete?

Damn, that must have been a rude awakening.

We used a repair company when we had our flood. I would advise you to call your home insurance company and report to them what happened. You may be surprised to find that it may be covered, or at least partially covered. If it is, they will contact a shop for you and set things up. I would suggest doing that before you even call a shop or try to fix it yourself.

 

I talked to him a little while ago.
Seems it's not that major. Some glue came loose and a cap popped off.
He's re-gluing it, and going to wait an see.

Calling the home owners insurance is a good idea if it becomes major, but you
need to find out what they cover, so when you explain it, it falls into what they consider "covered".

Also, I have a friend who lives in Upland that just started his own plumbing business.
If he's got to pay out of pocket, I told him I got the hookup.

 

Cesar always knows a guy who knows a guy.

 

luckily for me after i dug it all up the fitting just popped off where it was glued on. i got so of the thick blue stuff, cleaned and sanded the two ends down and i am lettign it dry now. hopfelly later this afternoon when i turn the water back on it wont leak. oh and it was in the planter inbetween the house and the side walk.

basicaly it is a dog leg with thread on one end and it just rotated of the coupling with the pressure.

 

yeah, from that pic, looks like all the blue glue is gone from the section that seperated....but boy, did they do a rediculous job on that line. Great thing about track homes man, sometimes they subcontract out to the lowest bidders. A jar of blue cement should do the trick.

I know we have rediculous water pressure on our house, and I'm surprised that all the sprinkler heads don't pop off everytime the water kicks on to water the grass.

 

fortunately that looks like an easy fix. I agree, some of the work on track homes is absolutely ridiculous!

 

srry 2 hear about that Loren... Hope u get it taken care of... New homes often have such issues. Contactors & their subs just rush in & rush out. A lot of these kinds things show up later...

 

cesar: did you see that response by Mr. & Mrs. Magic before stealth deleted it?
(in the logging thread)

 

Nope. Wish I had though. That guy's a few rotors short of a wankel. PM me, or forward your email notification to me.

 

email notification?

 

nvm, just figured out what you're referring to. let me check

 

haha. check my post in the cobb thread.

 

That guy is angry. Scary thing is, the US Gov't saw fit to make him a soldier. Glad he's on our side.
Send him to the middle east and tell him the terrorist laugh at his computer skills. He'll wipe them out in a few days.

Stealth's comment was funny.

 

it is not always good to have a guy like that, even if he's on your side....cause, remember, he's gonna be walking around with a loaded gun, and a reasonable excuse, blaming it on friendly fire.....

 

Random pic of the day.
Street Fighter II anyone?

 

To quote COD4.

Friendly fire... isn't.

 

RUAV......

he may just be like that guy with the magic shotgun

 

Cesar: LOVE the post you made! The yoda pic made it perfect. I gotta start making Yoda signs like that with funny sayings.

 

I saw this in another thread and I LMAO!!!


disclaimer: the last pic is a BIT on the nsfw side but should be okay as long as your boss isn't looking over your shoulder.

 

^ ROFLMAO...

lol

 

well everythig is back to normal and there are no leaks knock on wood. only cost me $5 for the glue to fix it.
