Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink

Well the boards would have shrunk if they had been in the line of water that was gushing under the house from the water pipe that ruptured sometime today, causing our water tank to almost drain away. Agh the perils of having your own water source and the associated need for pumps and hosing and black poly tubes that loop around under the house like bloated intestines...anyways, the ever resourceful and skilled Steve managed to replace the faulty elbow joint and even managed a smile even while caked in red muddy clay.
And here's a shot of two of our pumps (I think we have four all up) which live under our bedroom, chugging and pumping away, just biding their time until they decide to pack it in and cause us grief.
