Oh Betty - I feel for you!

Speaking of water...yesterday (along with the new blinds, which look fabulous) we had a new dishwasher installed. We had also received a note from our management company that the water would have to be turned off in order to fix a retaining wall on the first floor of our building.

When we arrived home last night we found that the water was still off, so Jerel called and was told that no, they didn't have to turn the water off. So he gets under the sink (I'm catching up on email and LCT at the computer, so I'm not paying attention) and telling the person, oh we just had a new dishwasher installed, maybe they shut the water off under the sink, let me see if I turn this knob if it will come on etc. Of course, that wouldn't explain why we didn't have water in the bathroom too. We eventually find out that yes, the water was turned off and the plumber is on his way to turn it back on.

I sent Jerel out to pick us up a salad since I can't wash anything, and right after he left I hear the sound of water running in the kitchen. Thinking he had left the faucet on a bit so we would know when the water came back on, I walked into the kitchen to investigate. Hmmm, the faucet isn't on, but I hear water. The water sounds likes it's behind our counter near the refrigerator, across from the sink. "That's so weird", I think to myself. The phone rings, and it's Jerel. The plumber has turned the water back on. I told him I knew that, because I could water running. I held the phone near the noise and asked him if he could hear it. Suddenly, I see water streaming out of the cupboard pooling on the floor. "I see the water!" I yelled. "Uh oh" he says. "That's my fault".

Turns out he had turned on the faucet that connects the water supply to our refrigerator ice maker, which isn't actually hooked up.

We eventually got the faucet turned off and the water cleaned up. I'm hoping the cabinet or floor weren't too damaged.

On a better note, our California Closet will be installed later today!
