We have finally unpacked most of the remaining boxes in our garage. Not the way we had planned, but they are unpacked. And I might be able to park the truck in the garage soon!
Miss A was home with a fever yesterday. So, Michael took Miss N & our next door neighbor's boy to church last night.
In an effort to catch up on all the laundry created by the dishwasher fiasco, I was washing the towels used to clean up on Tuesday night.,
Our washer & dryer are in the garage. I was listening to the washer fill with water and realized that very soon I would need to switch the towels into the dryer. Easy, right?
After about 10 or 15 minutes, I realized that I was still hearing the washer fill with water. Suspicious, I went to check things out. I turned on the light in the garage and was shocked to see water all over the floor of the garage! I hurried over to the washer and turned it off. Still water gushed out. I realized that the hose that connects to the drain had become disconnected from the back of the washer. Oh no!! I slid it on and the water stopped coming out.
I took a look around. The two boxes closest to the washer were soaked. As I emptied them, I discovered they both had almost an inch of standing water. Fortunately, the only things in them that were waterlogged were the hubcap covers for the extra set of rims we have.
In all, I think that about 8-10 boxes were affected. Not to mention all of Michael's uniforms that he had pulled out and tossed on the floor. More laundry. Great.
I had called Michael to let him know what had happened and he & Miss N helped out when they got home. It was the end, I hope, of a wet week.
