water

A.K.A. office chair hydraulics.

Sometimes, great fixes take time, you can't fauce these kind of things!

When washing your hands makes them dirtier than they were in the first place!

That's because British people only have two uses for water: hot water for their tea, or cold water for splashing on their face after getting tipsy at the pub. #stereotypes

So this morning I was awoken by the sounds of construction outside. I then found we had no water in the house. Putting two and two together I determined that the DPW was digging up our connection to the main; apparently to replace our shut off valve, based on visual evidence. We didn't have water all day and they didn't finish the job before quitting time. So they rigged up a work around that I find very amusing. They shut off our mains connection in our basement and then connected our external spigot to our neighbor's spigot. They're back-feeding our system from the neighbor's system. They should be back tomorrow to finish.
