threeplusfire: (fuck up)
Somewhere in the building, a water pipe has most likely frozen or burst. The water boiler itself is up on top of the roof. The point of this is that our toliet does not work, and we have no hot water. Not even tepid lukewarm water. Our water is ice cold.

This is probably not going to be fixed until Monday I bet.

Yesterday I posted an article about how stupid people can be with their money. that isn't really Christmasy or happy I suppose. So I'll make up for it today with this article from the local paper. There's a show on ABC called "Home Makeover" that is hosted and organized by Ty Pennington, former carpenter of Trading Spaces and lust object for home owners across America. He remodels entire homes for families in need. Someone here in Austin was inspired by that show, and took it upon himself to make that happen for a family here. Sometimes, I do feel better about people in general. (to be completely honest I bawled at my desk when I read this today.)

How you can help

If you would like to contribute to the 'extreme makeover,' you can send a check made out to First House Inc. (a nonprofit set up for the project) addressed to Bo Busby, Hill Partners, 2800 Industrial Terrace, Austin, TX 78758. Busby has raised 60 percent of his goal of $50,000. Any donations not used on the house will go into a college fund for the Rank children.
