Imagine my surprise when I encountered this scene while driving to my office this morning! Click to enlarge.
The water leak
A major leak developed suddenly in the plumbing to the bathroom sink here at my office yesterday.
If I had not been waiting past the time I generally leave, because I was tracking the new grill, I would not have realized there was a leak!
If I had not retained the Styrofoam shipping container in which the food items sent my reader Chris arrived, I would have had no way to contain the water flow!
The repair man turned off the water outside the building yesterday, and the Styrofoam container filled only half-way prior to his doing this. He is now repairing the faulty plumbing.
