The Joys of Owning a home.


Well (i think it was) Tuesday Kyler and i were outside working on the back yard. Everything was going great, kyler was climbing in the rocks of our landscaping a i was using a hedge trimmer as a weed wacker. then we decided to hook up the hose and clean off back patio. well our outside water is off b ecause we need to fix our sprinklers. (when we turn the water on at the main valve all the sprinklers turn on and won't stop) so we have one faucet out of the house in the back, so we hooked the hose up and started cleaning. Then all the sudden i looked into the window and there was water runnig dow it. OH CRAP!!!! it was shutting off when we shut the tap off so we knew it wasn't back farther in the line. But water was running down my wall and even out of our ac vent in the celing. Everything turned out ok it was a burst pipe. The whole thing to fix the pipe cost us $25.00 and the help of a few family members. I do however have some holes in our walls that we'll need to fix soon but still won't cost to much we already have the paint that our previous owner left. so its justsome sheet rock and putty, along with enlisting some more family help.
