It never fails, it's Friday at about 7PM and I hear a drip - drip - drip sound. This is the third time in the past year that one of my copper supply pipes has developed a pinhole (well maybe a little bigger than a pinhole) and I have found a stream/spray of water coming from the pipe. We live in a town of only about 20,000 people and although two or three of the local plumbers list "emergency plumbing" on their web pages, none have an "emergency plumbing" phone number to call. I made a hasty trip to our local home improvement store and grabbed a couple of epoxy based emergency repair kits made for plumbing. I just turned the water back on and my emergency patch seems to be holding for now. At least we don't have to go without water and HVAC (geothermal system) for the weekend until a plumber opens up shop on Monday morning. Three times - Three Times!!!! As Vinzzini (Wallace Michael Shawn) was so fond of saying "Inconceivable!".
