Oh, fuck me. My Father warned me about a pipe that's leaking, and it got really bad. I didn't notice it, however, till just now, when Mother wanted me to go to her office to get something for her. I have to pass by the furnace and the boiler along the way, and that's where I saw a steady rivulet of water emanating from this problem pipe.
I tried to do what Father told me to do: Stick a piece of tape in it and clamp it shut. Didn't work. In fact, I think it's gotten worse, although unclamping the first clamp that was already there may not have been the wise thing to do.
So I'm going to give it a day. Meanwhile, I have a wastebasket to collect all the water. Hopefully it won't be full by the time I wake up -- that is assuming I can fall asleep now.
Father said that if worst comes to worst, to call Uncle. I may have to do that ... assuming all hell doesn't break loose this time tomorrow.
