Water Misadventures (2)



Our worst experience with water didn’t come from street flooding, however.  One Wednesday night we loaded the dishwasher, and headed out to church.  I had some tasks to take care of and remained at the building for several minutes, but Elliott went on home.  In a few minutes he called to tell us that the kitchen and the family room were flooded.  A valve in the dishwasher failed to close, and we had a flooded house.

We eventually got it cleaned up and had the valve repaired.  The repairman told us, “Don’t ever start dishes or a load of laundry and leave the house.”   “Don’t even go to bed with the washing machine or the dishwasher running.  We’ve pretty much observed that rule ever since then.
