***10 Things about...Brookly, Eric and Myself to come!

Just my luck!

So on Thursday...I went downstairs in the garage to get my cell phone and I heard water drops coming from the floor above me (Laundry Room). So I went up stairs to check it out and to my surprise and me saying "Are you kidding me." There was water 1/2 inch thick on the floor everywhere and more water pouring out of the washer. The glass door had broken and the washer thought it needed more water to keep running so it kept filling it up and pouring it onto the floor and into the carpet. I guess it doesn't have a sensor to turn it off if the glass breaks. So I told Easton to help me mop up the water. I spent the next 2 hours sucking up water with my carpet cleaner. Eric came home early to pull up the carpet and cut out the carpet pad. Our good neighbors let us borrow their high powered fan that dried it within 5 hours. Some water damage was done downstairs in the garage and Eric had to tear out some sheetrock. Overall not too much damage but enought to make us annoyed! It could have been a lot worse if I hadn't heard those water drops.

Now the fun begins...no washer. The warranty expired 3 months ago...just my luck! But of course, My dad is who he is and they will get it fixed for me. This has never happened before that they know of. My dad was so shocked to hear it happened. He has sold the Asko Washers and Dryers for a very long time. And of course it has to happen to ME!

My sweet neighbors are letting me use their washer today for a couple loads...so nice! Hopefully we will get ours fixed sometime this week! I am crossing my fingers!
