Well It’s 10:30 p.m. and I just got back from my neighbour’s house. He was trying to replace his dishwasher when the feed pipe broke. Tried to shut off the main and the handle broke.
So he ends up on my door step with water coming out of the basement ceiling. Get Robert and Ian to get the shop vacc and garbage pails to get as much of the water as they can. I finally get the main shut off. As far as I can tell the pipe broke at about 9:15 p.m.
TO ALL,
When doing reno’s on your house PLEASE!!!!!! Not after 8 P.M.!!!!!!

When I saw the title of this thread, I thot Mister Verandah had been digging and put a backhoe through the main.
True version's almost as good.
I think the real lesson here is, 'Don't wait till you've got a busted pipe to try to turn off yer water main!'
