Broken Water Main

Yesterday morning one of the renters discovered the carpet under his bed was soaking wet. Dad came down and assessed the damage...
...which was a lot...

Results = Jordan and Dad had a lot of fun tearing up the grass at the house to find the broken pipe! What a couple of boys. Check it out.

Inside, Suz used the carpet cleaner to suck up about 20 gallons of water from the basement carpet. Then Mom and Becca and Brooke and Micah brought rootbeer floats and cinnamon rolls to the hard workers! Yum. Thanks!! Micah was in 7th heaven riding the tractor with Daddy. (Sadly, no photos.) Brooke celebrated the hard work by sleeping the whole time.

We're all (except Dad, maybe) counting our blessings that this happened three days BEFORE Dad leaves for his Nauvoo trip instead of while he's gone.
