Got to Have Water!

You know it's a scary thing when you wake up in the morning and try to turn on the faucet and nothing comes out! You try to flush the toilet and it just kinda burbles. You run up to check you water tanks and find something that shocks you. . . they're empty! An awful sinking feeling comes over you as you realize that your reserve tanks are also empty. Absolutely no water. Zero, nil, zilch, nothing. Well as you've probably already gathered, that happened to my family. It was last week on Friday. The one puzzling thing is that we had checked the water tanks the night before and they were full, next morning, empty, no holes in either tank. Where did all that water go overnight. Well we got a water truck to come deliver us some water because we knew that our well, being shallow, would never recover itself. Well, he came out and got our tanks filled. Strangely enough though, it seemed to be taking way more water than the tanks were capable of holding. We actually used up the entire water truck full! Well mom went to the house and after some investigating she checked the water heater. It was absolutely gushing water! We turned off the valve and are now happy to at least have water. Though I'm realizing how inconvenient it is to have no hot water. But it won't be for long and at least we found the problem before our tanks emptied a second time!

One fun thing was having a huge water truck in our driveway :) My sisters especially enjoyed it. So I took out my camera and decided to get some fun photos.

Yeah that's me ;)

The truck driver let the girls get in the cab and poke around.
