#32: Putting the “Bath” in “Bathroom”
If you are lucky enough to experience the chilly season of winter on a regular basis, you know there is nothing worse than a burst pipe. It’s such a pain to repair, and it can cost an arm and a leg to pay someone to repair the damage. That’s why this photo is hilarious and cringey all at the same time. Someone forgot to turn off the main water valve at their cabin before they left for the summer, and the results were disastrous.
If the main water valve in an unused house is not shut off during the winter, the water inside the pipes is freezing cold. This makes the pipes contract and burst if there is a weak spot. As you can see, a burst pipe is far from a small problem. This water even looks like it’s frozen all the way through! Imagine how cold it has to be inside for that to happen. Brrr, no thank you!
