Model Forum / General / Models / September 2008I had an interesting day
During a routine nursing assistant's visit today the hot water inlet pipe under the bathroom sink burst. I'd only started putting the basement back in order after last year's flood. Alas, what I had put was the shelves with the unsold kits and decals, right under the bathroom. To say I was excited would be an understatement! I think the poor woman probably was shocked at my language. I have no idea what I said but it was definitely blue. Aside from mopping up the floor in the bath I spent most of today going through the kits and wiping up puddles. I think I dodged a bomb here. Despite the flood I've found only two kit decal sheets that were ruined. There may be more that are questionable but only trying them will tell for sure. I dried the instructions in the microwave and that worked well. Tomorrow I'll try the boxes. I think I'll leave the area under the bathroom as free space. Too many accidents have happened to trust anything to be left there. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. > During a routine nursing assistant's visit today the hot water inlet >pipe under the bathroom sink burst.

According to her she would have reacted worse. ;) Word to the unwise: DO NOT put two instruction sheets into a microwave at 30 seconds! Fortunately I had already scanned those two. According to the repairman we have high pressure in the water line and any part that is aged is liable to blow. Now all I need is $400 for an expansion tank. I have doubts that the budget is gonna stretch for that. Bill Banaszak, MFE Sr. >>> During a routine nursing assistant's visit today the hot water inlet >>> pipe under the bathroom sink burst.
