Good night, all.

Several hours ago I went downstairs to throw a load of laundry in the washer

vixmom · « **Reply #94 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:52:02 PM »

I was baffled to find water on top of the closed lid

vixmom · « **Reply #95 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:52:36 PM »

Then I looked up

vixmom · « **Reply #96 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:52:57 PM »

Water was dripping from a beam in the ceiling

vixmom · « **Reply #97 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:54:35 PM »

Further investigation led to behind the washroom wall where there is a 2 foot wide space to allow access to the pipes

vixmom · « **Reply #98 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:55:01 PM »

There was a large puddle on the floor

vixmom · « **Reply #99 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:55:48 PM »

The water was dripping down from the overhead pipes but there was no obvious point of origin

vixmom · « **Reply #100 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:57:40 PM »

So I started sopping up the water from the floor and drying off the pipes

vixmom · « **Reply #101 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:58:18 PM »

Then I had to remove everything from the shelf above the washer and dryer

vixmom · « **Reply #102 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:58:42 PM »

Dry what could be dried and toss out what had been ruined

vixmom · « **Reply #103 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:59:06 PM »

Then suddenly there was another gush of water with no obvious source

vixmom · « **Reply #104 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:59:35 PM »

I went upstairs and checked under the kitchen and bathroom sinks

vixmom · « **Reply #105 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:59:41 PM »

All dry

vixmom · « **Reply #106 on:** July 18, 2021, 08:59:55 PM »

No water around the base of the toilet

vixmom · « **Reply #107 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:00:22 PM »

No sign that anything had come from the tub

vixmom · « **Reply #108 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:00:40 PM »

Then I went back downstairs and dried everything again

vixmom · « **Reply #109 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:01:11 PM »

Now Vixdad was required to work today and had been in a conference during all this

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:01:24 PM »

By time I came back up he had signed off

vixmom · « **Reply #111 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:01:52 PM »

I verified he was now off the clock

vixmom · « **Reply #112 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:02:22 PM »

Then I shared the news if the mysterious leak

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:02:48 PM »

As I am sure you have already surmised he was less than pleased

vixmom · « **Reply #114 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:03:11 PM »

Much less

vixmom · « **Reply #115 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:03:22 PM »

Sooooooooooo much less

vixmom · « **Reply #116 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:04:11 PM »

He looked around and decided it must be a leak from within the wall

vixmom · « **Reply #117 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:05:31 PM »

So while I was downstairs he went back up and moved the refrigerator to try and access the pipes behind the cabinets

vixmom · « **Reply #118 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:05:53 PM »

And suddenly there was another gush of water

vixmom · « **Reply #119 on:** July 18, 2021, 09:06:43 PM »

“Hey!” Says I , “did the line to the ice maker spring a leak?”
