Had a nice surprise when I arrived home last night. A pipe had broken in our garage and flooded it. Thankfully, our neighbor noticed the water pouring forth from under our garage door and came in and shut the water off.

So instead of a nice evening at home, I spent the evening figuring out what had gotten so wet as to be ruined (thankfully, nothing) and finding areas to let all the wet stuff dry. I then made sure to break into the wall where it was the most wet so I could find where the pipe had broken. It was really easy to find since there had already been a drywall patch there from the previous owners. I can only assume that they had the same problem.

Lesson learned: Shut off the water to the outside spigot at Thanksgiving!
