Yesterday I was in my lounge room and I heard water running so I cocked my head, went into the kitchen and realised FUCK ITS THE LAUNDRY. So I sprint in there and turn the tap off. My washing machine had sprung a leak. First thing i did was take off my socks because ick. Water everywhere. Luckily it didn't reach the hallway carpet. Cleaned it up. There was swearing but atleast I know I run towards danger, didn't panic and my hearing is still good.
Good news is I defrosted my freezer so I get to pack it with frozen goods from Aldi today.
ooh good save. After a few water events over the last few years water scares the shit out of me now. You did good.
Thanks. I have had the hot water hose spring a leak under the bathroom basin cabinet. That was a hot steamy mess.
yikes! Do you have a drain in the laundry? seems INSANE that wasnt a standard thing since like... forever.
No drain in a 1970s house. Although that would've been handy.
none in my late 00's build either. freakin dumb.
