Yesterday was quite the excitement filled day in our house...and not in a good way. As I was getting ready to go to the grocery store I walked from our living room through the kitchen towards the master bedroom. As I reached the hall, I saw and stepped in WATER, and lots of it, like an inch deep. Our washing machine decided to flood our laundry room, hallway, and into our bedroom. So, Patrick and I sprang into action ~ he got the wet/dry vac and started sucking out the water while I swept the excess water out into the garage. After what seemed like forever all the water was gone. Everything but our bedroom is tile (and if I have any say in the next year or so our bedroom will be tile also!) so the damage was not too bad. We did have to peel back our carpet, cut out part of the padding and dry out the carpet.
The repairman came out and after running the washer through several cycles figured out that our water level switch is broken. So instead of adjusting the water level, it just drained the excess out the bottom of the washing machine. Genius, right? After much thought Patrick and I decided we would go ahead and buy a new washing machine - we still had the ones that came with the house when we built in Cypress - and this morning we decided we NEEDED a matching pair (haha!). So, we set off and got ourselves new front loaders that will be delivered on Sunday. I am so excited! I know I am officially getting old when appliances excite me...30 is just around the corner!
