yardhippie 0 #1 July 21, 2006 Yup, you heard me right. Maybe even skiing. Got home bout the usual time. I was thinking how nice it was going to be to just have a quiet night at the house. I open our front door to a water covered floor and a washing machine hose spraying hot water where ever it can. This was at 5:45. Three 6 gallon shop vacs, most the linen closet, a king and full size comfoter, one trip to home depot, a new box fan, two new hoses, and 5 hours later, i get to sit down. What a shitty ass night. We may loose some of our laminate floor. We did loose the carpet in the closet, but other than that, we may be ok. Damn Im glad tommorow is Friday.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MF42 0 #3 July 21, 2006 Oh man, I feel your pain, for I have been there. My catastrophe was actually an upstairs neighbor's washing machine that destroyed her floor, my ceiling, my furniture, and my floor. I'll send something vibe-ish your way.

dbattman 0 #8 July 21, 2006 I have five days to closing. The fridge (only 5 years old) went on the fritz while negotiating the contract including the fridge. Keeping my fingers crossed since the W/D are included as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #9 July 21, 2006 Change your W/D hoses... its 24 bucks vs. how much to make repairs?

Then that would leave me open to leave early for the DZ for the weekend! Yea, I like that. That's the spirit! I had a loose hose clamp on a brand new washing machine, about 10 years ago. I came home to water running out of the back door. I had to remove all of the downstairs carpet & laminate floor. I replaced them both with hard wood flooring.Skymama stalker #69!!!!

jumpjunkie2004 0 #13 July 21, 2006 OMG...that just sucks. I can completely relate. When we first bought our house, our basement flooded with sewer water on Super Bowl Sunday!!! The clean up from that was a real bitch : ( It cost $4,000 to have our yard dug up and the sewer line replaced.Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had a home inspection done, and he picked a bunch of other things apart. If I'd ever had the good sense to look at them, I'd have replaced em. Rubber hoses? Hell no. Not unless they're leak free like my new ones. Ive been doing laundry now for nearly 12 hours, except for a break between 2 and 8 this morning.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lastchance 0 #20 July 21, 2006 Bummer dude. One time in the dead of a Montana winter my pipes froze. So I turn on the faucet in the bathtub and head to a friends house for a couple hrs and return to 2 inches of water in my house and ey dog and cat sitting on the couch looking at me like what the hell did you do. The pipes thawed shortly after I left and I didn't notice the wash rag in the tub. It wen to the drain and the rest is history. I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

Some of the laminate flooring is curling a bit at the edges, but near as bad as I would have expected. Just a couple more things to do and Im headed to the DZ!
