Broken Pipe

I had one of those days that didn't turn out exactly like I had expected. I instead spent 9 hours in my car.

My son had called to say a hot water pipe had broken under his tile floor and there was water everywhere . . . we told him to call the plumber. My son lives in Stillwater, Oklahoma in a house we bought together with him last summer to live in while going to college. I jumped into my car to be a 7.5 hour drive to offer my assistance. When you child asks you to come . . . this Mom will drop what she is doing. One scenario the floor was going to be jack hammered up. This time of year with my sons job and last few weeks of school, he didn't have alot of time to be dealing with this. Fortunately the plumber was able to run a new line through the old copper line under the floor . . . a bit of sheetrock will be needed but the concrete floor did not have to be jack hammered up. After 4.5 hours in the car my son had everything under control and I was more than happy to turn my car around and head back home.
