...looking on the brite side.....
For all the students at the Gilford Middle School, at least their extended February vacation has benefitted by some excellent Gunstock ski & snow conditions. From the perspective of 'hey - let's cut classes and head for the slopes.' the timing of Gilford's broken pipe, ten school day vacation was perfect timing.
...looking on the brite side of a not-so-good situation, it always helps to be an optimist and see the glass as half full....
....from the classrooms to the slopes for like ten extra days....truth is truly stranger than fiction....no one would have believed this event possible
oh well, as the saying goes, when life tosses you a lemon...make some lemonaide...and when this new school building has a serious broken pipe, water leak.....it's time to go from hitting the books...to hitting the slopes....correctimondo?
after all...snow is a form of frozen water...how very elementary!
...let's see...there's the health insurance...pensions....college training...post graduate training...school administers....school board....students....parents...and the whole school gets shut down for like two weeks for one fatigued 1" water pipe in a four-year old building....who'd-a-thunk it possible?
As someone who has some experience with the different strengths of k-l-m copper water tubing, and making soldiered connections it makes me wonder what went wrong and turned this into such a big water leak? Last thing I always do before leaving home is to make sure to pull the electric plug on the water pump.
