House Team Wins, Water Restored
(I hope this isn't tempting fate to write this.)

Me (on phone to landlord): What's going on?
Landlord (defeated-sounding): I will call someone else.
Me: Keep me updated.

Landlord (5 min later): I have a call in to X asking him to call me back.

Landlord (10 min later): He will be at the house first thing in the morning.

9 am - big van with company name painted on the side pulls in (Jess always says, "WHY can't we have a proper van with a company name on it show up with workmen who can fix the problems, not an assortment of miscellaneous unbranded incompetents??" [paraphrased])

9:30 - knock, knock - Your water is back on!
Me: I LOVE YOU!
Man: lol
Me: What was it?
Man: A broken wire.

YAY! I was about to email you some!
 
DOUBLE YAY! I love him too, btw. Give him chocolates and roses for me. Plus maybe some ... erm what do men really want? no not THAT ... some ... steak.
 
Where are those temporally displaced water pipes when you need them?!?!
 
Enjah, it's BACON.
HBA, if it happens again I'll put a waterproof liner in my inbox.
Salazar, I should've set up a portal! I never thought to check but I hope my water didn't get displaced to Grignano.
 
hooray!
 
after further reflection i have some questions perhaps you will address them in a future post. if there was not a broken pipe sucking mud, just a broken wire, why was brown goop coming out of the faucet? where'd it come from & how'd it get there and how did fixing a wire make it stop?

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
