Water, Water, Everywhere

I came downstairs this morning to immediately have my sock soaked when I stepped in a puddle of water. I wiped it up only to step in water again a couple of minutes later. Sometimes we end up with little puddles when the kids overflow the water dispenser on the fridge. But then I saw a puddle across the room by the basement door. Again I wiped it up. At this point I was not a happy camper. I asked the kids why the floor was wet and they didn't know. After about 20 minutes I discovered it was coming from the dishwasher. The bottom was filled with water and it was overflowing onto the floor. I was concerned about the wood floor being ruined and called Dave at work. He came home and after a bit of testing things out realized the drain was clogged. He cleaned it out by hand as much as he could & then had to go buy some Draino to finish the job. We are now flood free. Whew! We all learned a lesson in how important it is to get all the food off the dishes before they go in the dishwasher & to use the traps in the kitchen sink as well.

Dave & Sweet Pea used the fish tube/hose to syphon the water out of the dishwasher.

Next he used a wire coat hanger to dig some of the gunk out.

Yucky Water

Funny!

Bugs came in from the back porch with this doll. He presented it to us and proclaimed, "It's Daddy!" LOL!
