The more I fiddled with it, the harder the water starting running. Of course I was all like " FUCK FUCK FUCK WHY ME???" now here's the problem. I went into the basement to turn the water off and realized I had no idea how. I opened up the fuse panel, I looked around the furnace, I read all the safety info posted on my hot water heater, still couldn't find the water knob thingy. Finally, I found a pipe marked with a 'neptune' meter and figured that was it. Turned off the water. What else do I need to know about my house besides where the fusebox and water knob thingy are???
