I got a call from a friend of mine this afternoon. He owns the 2 family next door to me. Seems his first floor tenant went on vacation for 2 weeks and shut the heat OFF before she left. Well when she got back (today) she called him saying she had no water. My friend is in South Carolina at the moment......... I drilled out the basement lock and found water running down a wall. Shut the main off and chased the problem. The hot water line to the bathroom let go and was flowing everywhere. Isolated it and turned the water back on (minus the hot to the bathroom). Went back upstairs and openned the faucet in bathroom....a small stream CHIT. Went into the kitchen and opened both faucets NADA> Then I notice the dirty dishes in the sink. THERE IS FREAKING 2" OF ICE IN A BOWL. WHat a moron. I know what I'll be doing tonite.......helping the plumber fix the leak and chase down frozen pipes. How could someone go on vacation with dirty dishes in the sink.
