[QUOTE="tmmcampbell, post: 1540771, member: 13941"] Lol I’m my early 20’s I lived in one of my grandparents farm houses. Nearest neighbors were about a mile away. We raised potatoes and didn’t have much going on is the winter so I played. My house only had wood heat so if I was gone for more than one day no heat. Well I had an offer up town and didn’t make it home for a couple of days. (That’s another stupid story ;) Problem was it got below zero for that time. I came home started a fire to thaw out the toilets ( yes they were frozen solid) then I dicovered most of the pipes had broke. So I went out to shut off the water. My water shutoff was in a hole with 2 5 gallon buckets welded together to keep the hole open. Without thinking I dived head first into those buckets to turn off the water. Then I realized I didn’t have the right tool and then realized I was stuck. I don’t know how long I was in that thing it felt like a couple of days. I was eventually able to wiggle out of it. I didn’t get the water turned off until the next day. It took quite a bit of will power to crawl back down that hole. Even with my cousin there to pull me out. [/QUOTE]
