THE FLOOD

To hear running water in our home is not out of the ordinary. Until we Zip-tied and unscrewed our hose valves, there seemed to be a never-ending stream of water rushing. Indoors, the bath faucet or a sink was usually running.

There always seems to be some water going somewhere in the house. So the other day when Kristen heard water, she didn't think much of it - until she realized that is sounded more like a waterfall than what she's normally used to.

A little investigation found that the water was coming through the ceiling fan in the main floor bathroom, cascading onto the toilet and floor below. Hm. She went up to the 2nd floor bathroom directly above, and found the problem. Oddly enough, it was our boys!

Tobin and Blane - especially Blane I assume - were taking special care to flush as many toys as they thought possible down the potty. Somehow it clogged and the overflow of water seeped down into the fan below. Now you know the rest of the story...

Well actually, no. The rest of the story is that I, being a plunge-master, managed to unclog the upstairs potty. We'll never see the toys again, but things seem to be flowing the way they should be...I just wouldn't recommend using that toilet for any serious, er, work...if you catch my drift.
