Subject: RE: TAN #173: AtTANtion Seekers!Who wants to hear about the start of my wonderful day? I slog downstairs to start the coffee machine before jumping into the shower and I get half way down and my eyes snap open because I smell... I don't know - WATER. I know water doesn't smell, but if you ever been in a flood, it does... I'm like "o crap, this aint good"... Step off the last stop onto the tile floor and *splash* 1/4" of standing water... I rush into the downstairs bathroom and sometime during the night, the faucet O-ring blew and had a gyser of water shooting up hitting the ceiling like you see in all the old 3 stooges shows. It's a disaster. BUT, I keep thinking it could be worse. It could have been when I was on vacation or on the second floor. I will have to repaint the bathroom after retexturing the walls. The water bubbled the paint. Several are rugs are probably ruined. I put them in the sun to dry, so maybe they will be ok and not stink, but who knows. Some other things got waterlogged, but nothing too valuable. I'm just glad I had my laptop on the steps instead of in the bag on the floor where I keep it sometimes... So 2 hours of clean up this morning and hours and hours of repairs are in store for me. |
