I've turned the water mains off with a mallet because the outside tap has sprung a leak. Good news is I've had my morning shit. Bad news is I need a shower.

incidents like these are why everything is getting an individual shutoff. EVERYTHING. We have gotten very odd looks and "are you sure it costs extra..." from plumbers but I can shit in peace if the kitchen or brewery leaks.

Oh no! Hopefully you can mallet it back on should you need to use the facilities again!
