What do you do when you wake up in the morning to find you have no water? Nothing happens when the faucets are turned on. Hmm.....Patient Husband isn't so patient anymore. It's not the circuit breaker, it's not the furnace, it has to be the well. Hmm...we have power so we have lights and refrigerator and stove and ceiling fans and we can 'flush' but we get only one. Hmmm.....call the well people. Call the furnace people (we have a geothermal furnace that uses the groundwater to heat and cool.) Hmmm.....find a defizzled bottle of club soda in the fridge and brush teeth with that. Works well for washing the face, too. Use the water from the dehumidifier to refill the tank on the toilet. Coffee was assembled last night so Patient Husband can settle down a bit. Furnace people call back. It's the well, he says, but he'll come tomorrow to make sure the 'fix' didn't hurt the furnace, which depends on the well. The well people call back, they're on their way. They (and we) hope they don't have to replace the pump which is 150 feet below ground inside the well. They (and we) hope it's a fuse. I'm going to leave this 'experience' and go to my little job in the shop. Don't we take our amenities for granted though?
