Default Water vs. JJ: The Epic Struggle

So, I'm on my lounge area, on the laptop, minding my own business, when suddenly I hear a watery sound, like a faucet running. So I look behind me to my kitchen, everything's off. So I look under my sink. Pipes are leaking a bit. So I turn off all the nozzles, leak stops, and I resume looking at the preseason NFL games.

Suddenly, I hear a FWOOSH, and I look behind me, and the cabinets under the sink are spewing water. Panicking, I fly out of the house to find the water shut-off valve, and shut it off, and return back to my house.

The Kitchen was overwhelmed like France in the '40s in the face of a watery blitzkrieg. Flooded. The lounge area, like the low countries. I dont have enough towels to span the space between it and my living room HT. Fighting the good battle right now to quell it, and trying to get an emergency service over to fix the problem and suck all this water out.

I've held them in the area of the left rear and right rear, but the H20nd regiment of the Aquatic Brigade is still making a hell of a push down the center speaker. Running out of towels. Situation = Serious. Tell my mother I loved her.

Casualties so far are my black curtains, my wooden table housing my stereo, and the kitchen island. Standstill.

Wow! Were you prepping for our draft tomorrow night? I trust that you will do whatever you have to to keep the water away fro your sweet HT gear. Good luck brother!

If the situation becomes drastic, I can offer your HT asylum at my place.

Good luck in your fight, hopefully that emergency service shows up at your door like the Americans (and British) at Normandy.

You might have been more effective in your fight if you hadn't bothered to take the time to post your struggles with the wetness, but i digress.
Hope all is well.

Are you saying that you don't post about YOUR wetness?

I quelled it @ the Battle of the Pool Room, pushed it back to the kitchen there - stopped its advance at the first Battle of the Center Rear Speaker, but they left a good salient there while I pushed their troops back elsewhere with a solid counteroffensive.

Turning the fans and all the lights on did their part. Water evaporated by this morning. Plumbers came @ 830 and fixed it.

Riff, I needed to get a communique out in case I perished in battle!

Hi JJ,

Sorry to hear of the problem. Hopefully there will not be too much damage. You may want to check with your Renter's insurance to find out if you are/would be covered for any damage.

Rich
