Looks like I did get the water shut off.

Well, I mean, I got the connectors connected tight enough to stop water flow.  The pan, where the electrical connections went down to?  Was full of water.  That is where I saw smoke, or steam.  Good thing I didn't tinker with that until I got the power off, which to do safely I had to turn the water off.

We opened things up, dried things off, got a fan down there, and... yea.  Waiting for it to dry.  Will check later tonight, or tomorrow.  Wanted to go to bed early.  At around 18:00.  But... no.  Then again, I'll only stay up to 20:00, then go on to bed.  With the bed already made, should be easy enough.

Not bad, for a cripple.  But, yes, I am exhausted.  My shoulders hurt from using those big tools, and possibly from doing so while taking a cold shower.  Still?  Pleased.  I... actually can... do some things.

He thinks he might have an idea, a fix.  So I don't have to buy two more flex hoses and connectors.  He thinks a 90 curve would work.  And, yes, I think it would.  As is they go straight down.  Worse is they go a bit far.  It puts a kink in the hoses, though not enough to stop the water.  If, over time, it would break through.  Yea.  If he has them, he'll be by tomorrow.  If not, I'll make another trip to town.  I would have tonight, but I just can't.

All good.  I put a fan going down there.  Surprising how little water is down there, for as much as was gushing out.  It must have just started spraying out as I was going down stairs to check on it.  I had just tried the water, and found it to be cold, but had let it run for a bit.  That must have just been too much pressure, at the cold water, so it snapped.  Otherwise there would be at least a puddle down there.  Weird, but a thing to be thankful regarding.

Hmm?  A sandwich?  I think that might be dandy.  And some kefir.  I'll also check the kefir, see if that can be turned over yet.  I am hoping it will be ready sometime yet today.  No telling though.  Later.
