Yeah, let me have a look. I'm checking now. Yeah, sorry, it wants to be at 90 degrees to the pipe. So it should be in line with the pipe when you start at 90 degrees to the pipe when you turn it off.

Yeah, that's much easier visually. If you imagine like the hole in the valve lining up with the handle thing on there. Do you want to turn that off? I've seen some suggestions that you want to turn water off. Generally, the advice is not to turn your water off and to hook up your outdoor hoses to your outdoor taps such that they can be used if they need to be used.

I have seen some suggestions to turn water off because I guess people's pipes are bursting, which is decreasing water pressure.

Right. Like in the case of California, you can go to CAL FIRE, right? There will be evacuation advice on the CAL FIRE website. There might even be on your city website. Some of it is useful. This is a useful thing. If you do need to turn off your water, again, water shutoffs could be in a variety of places. So it kind of depends, especially if you're on a well, you're probably rural.

And if you're rural, you're probably going to be leaving it on.

It can sometimes be at the side of your house. You might need to give this a little bit of WD-40. Sometimes there's a little plastic box as well, and the little plastic box has a little hole, and you kind of have to shove a screwdriver in that hole and pop it open.

Yes, yeah, that's city water, yeah. If you have a water meter box and the shutoff's in there. Familiarize yourself with that stuff now so that you're not doing it in a panic later. And that's kind of where a lot of what we're talking about today is important. If you do it now, you don't have to dash about your house grabbing, thinking, is this important? Do I need this? Do I need that? Right.

Because like I've evacuated for a while. I was living in California a few times. I like to think I have it pretty down now, but definitely the first time I was, you know, freshly minted European migrant. It was not familiar with this stuff and definitely just ran around grabbing things. It turned out to be the wrong things. It's like, cool, I've got three bicycles here.
