Whee.
I get to go in late/ miss work tomorrow because the water pipe between meter and house decided to kill itself 20-24 hours ago, and none of us reallly noticed it til we got home from work. 12+ hours of unfettered water flow later. I'm so used to frost layer areas, I didn't even think that the shutoff would be accessible.
No damage in house, or to neighbor's down the hill, where the water's coming out, but we're now running dry, bottled, and prepped for a day or two siege. Luckily, I can turn us on and off at will for shower blasts and toilet refills/ bucket fills with no real ill effect besides some silt.
Poked around some, found some plumbers, BBB'd them, will call in order of decreasing BBB love, and get off the cuff estimates.
On a high point, I get to wake up an hour later tomorrow. whee!
err. today.
