Thanks again to those who participated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/fundrazr.com\/a1dAKd\">Fundrazr<\/a>!)<\/p>\n<p>Homes in Mexico have few water shut-off valves. So this resulted in the entire rooftop tinaco (water tank) emptying by the time I got hold of a plumber. I also have no water to the house until the plumber can resolve the issue (I don&#8217;t use this tap, so I&#8217;m going with the cheapest option of adding a stopper and plate over the opening). I do have water at an exterior tap that is in-line between the where the city water enters and the ground-level tinaco, so at least I&#8217;m not entirely without water until resolution. Always appreciate reminders that building codes exist for a reason and to be mindful of that when I renovate or even build my first home here!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41021\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.raecrothers.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4451-619x825.jpg 619w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(I have intentionally turned off comments to the blog.
