A broken pipe after the snowy day!

Right before lunch, Mama Bear heard the loud sound of water came from somewhere in the house. Papa Bear thought it might be one of the toilets need more time to fill the water tank. Five minutes later, the sound was still there. Something must be wrong. Very wrong. Till Mama Bear opened the garage door and looked at the water filled with the garage floor, we had a problem, a big one. Papa Bear tried to turn off the water, but the knob was too tight. The water kept coming out. It was too muddy and too cold to stay outside. Not a minute to lose. Papa Bear need to turn the water off before the garage got flooded. Neighbors came to help and finally found the right tool to turn it off. OK! The water stopped coming out. It was Saturday. We had better to call a plumber to fix it. Thank God that a Spanish Brother was available and he was willing to give it a try. ( He was not sure that he can fix it.) Two hours after the FLOODing incident, the broken pipe was fixed.  However, We learned a lesson. Draining out of the water in the pipe when there is snow. Also give the pipe a layer of "pink jacket" to keep it from breakig again. What a Saturday!
