Thingamabob malfunction. 0
Well we had some excitement this evening…. One of the bolts in the water hookup thingamabob for our washing machine decided to fail. This caused a stream of water about the thickness of a typical garden hose to begin shooting upwards and across the room.
Steve and I initially noticed the sound of a pressurized water spray while sitting in our living room and went to investigate. Upon realization of what was going on I immediately went into crisis management mode as I scrambled to notify the proper authorities and shut off the water using the shutoff valves located in our closet (think Keanu Reeves in the matrix as he doges the bullets). All the while steve was in a panic stricken stare at the events unfolding before him (visualize one of the sims characters when something catches on fire).
When all was said and done (the events unfolded in roughly 15 seconds), we were left no running water and about a quarter inch of standing water in our laundry room.
Chris, our landlord, was able to find a temporary bolt to insert into the hookup so we could once again turn on our water. A repair crew is scheduled to show up tomorrow to repair the faulty thingamabob.
