FLOODED

....my laundry room tonight.


we have had trouble with our water, but finally got it fixed yesterday, so today I was ready to do my first load of laundry in my brand new washer ----- the dudes that delivered it forgot the hoses and stuff, so they didn't hook it up for us --- so I attached the hoses ---- and turned it on..... and walked away..... and when I came back to check on it, there was SOOOOOOO much water all over my floor .

I threw down every single towel I owned, and even used a big comforter that was right there too, and there was still just so much water

turned out I didn't know about the drain pipe -- it was still "inside" the back of the washer, so I couldn't see it, and the hole where it should attach, next to the water hoses, was covered with tape and painted over, so I didn't see that either.

so hard lesson learned for this first time home owner.
