Human note: My house has hot water heat. You know: old style cast iron
radiators. The furnace is 94 years old. It only works if the hot water
stays inside. Overnight, a LOT of water leaked out.

Poor Lorelei's litter box just happens to sit in the lowest spot in the
basement; there was a lot of water, everywhere....but deepest, right
where the litter box was. And, the water is COLD, sitting on the
basement floor, too.

I could see little wet cat paw prints, all around the margins of my new
indoor pool.

I moved her litter box to high ground, and started cleaning up the
water, with a wet/dry shop vacuum.

The only trouble is: there's no floor drain in my basement. So I filled
the vacuum with water, and I couldn't lift it up, to dump it in the
laundry tub.

Water weighs 8 lbs. to the gallon, and the vacuum holds 6 gallons: 48
pounds. I can lift about half that, on a good day. Once or twice...maybe
three times. A bag of kitty litter weighs 25 pounds, and I can get one
bag home from the store, at a time.

I need a pump, to pump the water up into the laundry tub.

I got the leak fixed....temporarily. So, the furnace works, for now. I
have heat.

Ah, the joys of old houses! Mine was converted to electricity, but a
couple I know are trying to fix up a house that must be a bit over a
hundred years old. I don't think the furnace is quite that old, but it's
not new, and shut off during the reign of some previous tenants who
didn't know or didn't care that those cast-iron radiators should have
been drained before the house was abandoned to the frigid temperatures!
That was a mess.

And if your house (or other building, it also happened in a local
church) is big enough, you can't get a replacement furnace locally. I
once had a lovely apartment in a giant old Victorian house, and when the
furnace went, a new one had to be ordered in from Montreal - almost
2,500 km - and took weeks and weeks and weeks to arrive.

I have that same heat and had that happen. I vacced it up the stood by the
sink with a pan with a handle and dipped it out of the vacc a bit at a time.
Where there is a will, thee is a way.

Would not trade hot water heat for anything else. When it is freezing
outside, you can find cats laying along the radiator covers that go over the
pipes
Loreli I hopez u gotted a treet for telling himself dere wazza proflem.

Years ago, my company's beautiful offices had a similar event. I had
noticed a "damp, musty odor for days but could not determine the source.
One day I went into the board room to fix coffee and felt "sqwishy"
underfoot. Sure enough, the beautiful carpet was saturated from a leaky
radiator. When they tore up the carpet, it was found to be mouldy
underneath. The whole room had to have new carpet. What a mess! MLB
