So Katy mentioned our dinner party. Most of the food came out mostly ok. We think most of the guests had a pretty good time. All of that is overshadowed by The Monsoon.

We were in the process of welcoming everyone into our home when one of the women pointed at our floor and said "Water!" We opened the door to our laundry room and found gallons and gallons of water springing forth from the wall behind our washing machine. No, we weren't doing laundry at the time. In a matter of minutes, we had standing water on the floor throughout our living room, dining room, and kitchen.

The guests were great - they grabbed towels and started soaking everything up. We can't thank them enough.

Our landlord was less great. He didn't answer his phone. Admittedly, he was out of town. But, we had no other emergency number to call, which we quickly found out is an unacceptable situation. Plumbers came today and were unable to find any problem. Apparently people will be back out next week to redo some of the plumbing in our walls to try and make a reoccurrence less likely, but I'm skeptical of pretty much anything they do at this point. We'll see how things turn out.
