Jim has been dying for the work week to end. As soon as Friday afternoon rolls around he is hitting the road, headed to that vacation spot he has had reserved for several months now. All the planning and ideas for these two weeks of serenity have finally paid off. Nothing could possibly stand in his way now. So he packs his bags with family and friends and they head out. But wait! There’s one more thing to check. Jim heads to the main, water shut-off valve and turns the knob. There’s no way he is going to let the thought of a water loss in his home affect his vacation.
Many people, like Jim, want to know they are in control and that everything is taken care of. Even the slightest possibility of something going wrong can really irritate individuals who desire a relaxed atmosphere. Others are a little less concerned. They live more “care free” and figure that if it is going to happen… well it’s just going to happen. Besides what are the odds of my house flooding while I am away on vacation?
