Seems like Stacy’s problem came to Alabama from Texas.
Got home from work and went into the master bath, where evidently the SGM hadn’t been yet, and got wet feet.
Inspection of the toilet bowl showed water running from it. So of course we went to shut the water off at the wall and that is where the problems tripled.
There was now water coming from the shut-off AND the toilet.
Yikes!
The more we tried the more the water came out.
A quick call to the emergency water company number and I had the water shut off to the house.
Two trips to Home Depot (where we added to Tony Stewart’s paint job pool) and the water was still coming out of the turn off on the wall, but ‘behind’ it now.
Off with the water to the house again.
We have a friend that flips houses and he is sending his plumber over in the morning.
We are hoping it’s just a replacement of the T fitting inside the wall — God please!
Updates to follow.

Happy Frackin’ Valentine’s Day. No water yet, plumber on the way. You know how it goes, “Will be there between XX and XX.”
Later …
Upated: $91.95 later and Roto Rooter has fixed the problem. Off to work!
