Water, water everywhere. Oh, and that old favourite of mine, mould, is making a guest appearance too. By the looks of it, the drain under my kitchen sink is leaking, probably has been for weeks, and the water has slowly but surely made its way underneath the laminate of my kitchen/living room/bedroom floor (yeah, just the one room), which in turn the wooden panels just loved and very enthusiastically soaked all up (Well, I too would have been thirsty in that heat!). So I eventually came across the leak not by seeing the pipe dripping, but by getting wet socks just from standing on a point where two of those panels touch. While doing the dishes. Marvellous! That was before I discovered the massive puddle that emerged from behind the fridge - well two metres away from the sink...
So here's one of those useful tips that one of these days might make your day: Do not spend all day planning (completely ficticious) film shoots - especially not if you intend to go away for a long weekend the next day - if that means that you'll have to do your dishes close to midnight. 'Cause by the time you realize that your sink is leaking it will be a) too late to call and shout at your landlord for putting such a crap sink into the flat in the first place, and worse, along with laminate right in front of it, b) too late to call anybody else to get both advice on what to do and a few soothing words (except from priceless, very patient parents) and c) it will be way past 2am by the time you actually finish your crisis management intervention plus the washing up, which incidentally kills your back when done kneeling in front of the shower.
My, thanks for sharing, Mary!
