Oh lord when it rain it pours. Today my sister came over to mark more stuff and things were going fine. Then she heard what sounded like a waterfall. The pipe to the outside faucet burst 💥. Water everywhere. I got mum wet shop vacuum out and started sucking up the water. The vac holds 10 gallons we emptied it 8 times but the last time it wasn’t full. Man. More boxes got wet. My back didn’t quite last the day. It stated spasming and I thought it was because we hadn’t ate and it was past 2. So I stopped, made soup and sandwiches. My nephew came over found the hole. Then my daughter came over. And my nephew brought some of the boxes upstairs for me to go though cause pain wise I just couldn’t stand any more. So hopefully we can get a plumber here tomorrow. Fortunately my nephew said I could take a shower with no problem. I’m very much in need of a shower. Was such sweaty work that my hair was soaked. And still the garage stuff is only half marked as we had to deal with the basement. Oh, the house is falling apart!!!! I’m so glad my sister was here to hear the pipe. Ohhh 😮 man, what a day!
On the plus side we may have sold all the antique cabinets. We sent pictures around to everyone and got lots of inquirers.
