Damn, that sucks, Jim. |

That duck creeped me right the ---fudgesicle--- out. I also had a flood, and the water all ran directly to the only carpet I have in the house. I caught it quick and saved the day however. Lots of heaters and fans blowing. Hoping to save the carpet... hoping. It's a small piece so not a huge deal if I have to replace but it was very nice red plush carpet. |

water flooding from places it shouldn't in a house is one of my nightmares.. Of course, I lived it a couple months ago when a pipe broke in my ceiling in my bathroom... I have that nightmare in one form or another about once a month. It usually involves a leak in a basement that is coming from somewhere up above that I can't identify that is actually destroying the entire house even though I only see a little damage in one spot. The last one had me waking up in a sweat and I was all out of sorts for the whole day. At least Jim's is a rental.. when that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- happens to your home you invested pretty much all your money and time from the past 20 years in, it gets a little more stressful. It's not even the cost of the repairs, it's having spent hundreds of hours doing drywall work (that you hated doing) and watching it all get ruined in a matter of minutes. While I could probably afford to pay someone to do it all over again, in this town the good mud guys are booked 12 months in advance... I can't tolerate paying someone to do something and ending up with a result that is worse than I would have done. It's all the stuff nightmares are made from... |

I can relate about the dreams. I do most everything myself, and every time I do plumbing I worry. I have never had any of MY plumbing go wrong but for some reason I am just super paranoid of water. |

We had a pipe break under our tub once, all the water damaged TWO rooms. |
