Day 165 of 2024

This is not how we planned to spend part of our day today. 

The quick version goes like this: 

About three weeks ago, we had the flooring replaced in this area of the house. 

When the flooring was done the installer hooked the water back up

 but did not turn it back on. 

I discovered this the first time I tried to start laundry after he was gone. 

Fireball turned the water on. 

Fast forward to today. 

I started a load of laundry on cool water setting. 

I opened the washer to add one thing I forgot 

and almost burned my hand in the very hot water. 

I mentioned this weirdness to Fireball. 

I grabbed the two water supply lines and found the hot was very cold

 and the cold was very hot. 

The installer failed to check to see 

if he was hooking the water supply lines

 to the correct spots.

Fireball and I got ready to fix the problem. 

The turn offs are very hard to turn. 

It felt like they were off, but water kept spewing everywhere. 

The laundry room began to flood with water

 as Fireball and I each tried to turn the water off. 

In the end, we got the water to stop, switched the supply lines, 

turned the water back on

 and I was able to finish my laundry with the cool water that I desired. 

I ended up doing an extra load to wash all the towels 

we had to use to mop up all the water. 

I guess the quick version didn't turn out so quick. 

Congrats if you actually got to the end.
