On the way home today I got a panicked call from Shelley that the toilet in he back bathroom was overflowing.\u00c2\u00a0 “How bad could it be?”, I thought.\u00c2\u00a0 “\u00c2\u00a0 The most you could get would be a tank full.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, I was wrong and it was bad enough.<\/p>\n
Shel and Quinn managed to get the water turned off, but it was actually the bob valve at the top of the tank that failed — that coupled with the fact that bowl had been draining “slowly” of late, and sometimes not at all.\u00c2\u00a0 Honestly, it was on my list to replace — the whole toilet — but I hadn’t yet.<\/p>\n
So, the good news is that it was MOSTLY clean water.\u00c2\u00a0 The bad news is that there was quite a bit of it.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re done mopping now, Shelley’s having a shower and the upstairs portion is dry.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ve got fans running in the basement to dry out the (open joist — thankfully) ceiling in the crawl space.\u00c2\u00a0 All that’s left is to go through the stuff that got wet and decide to keep in and clean it or chuck it.<\/p>\n
