how to ruin all your reloading equipment in one nights sleep

[jsn]

While off topic, the other thing you could consider whether or not it is close to your reloading stuff is the washer feed hoses, especially if your water is metered.

Standing in front of a public meeting asking the local water board to let you out of your outrageous bill due to a failure while you were on vacation or left town for the winter is an insult added to the ruined flooring, subfloor, etc.

Do the doctors expect her to make a full recovery once the surgeries are complete, along with the rehab?

We were gone for about 5 days a few years ago. Came home to find ceiling dry wall, walls, etc. down on furniture and dripping water all the way from the second floor to the basement. A flex line to the upstairs toilet and had split the retaining nut and was spraying water out. Luckily, our insurance covered most all the damage, but the inconvenience of having most of our stuff boxed up and taken to a storage facility was huge, not to mention the reconstruction. Now if we are gone, even just overnight, we turn the water line off. We have a well, and installed a ball valve in the basement. That little episode cost the insurance almost $85,000. They were able to collect about half of that from the maker of the faulty supply line.

This is why we turn off water when out of town. Also turn off water to washer when not in use.

The WD-40 "Corrosion Inhibitor" spray is fantastic for this. We had a roof leak in the shop during the last rain storm. The 2-ton Tree Mill got rained on. A through blasting with that product prevented ANY rust for forming.

So sorry to hear of your bad luck.
