Erci and I have some pretty amazing good fortune/karma lately. We came home from work to find all the lights on (a feature of our lights is that events can trip an ALL-ON signal to all the X-10 controllers in the house and turn on all the lights). Typically this is from the alarm being tripped, but the alarm was not tripped. Nor had we lost power (sometimes the brown-out will cause the X-10 controllers to think they got a signal).
A little annoyed we went around shutting off lights, which meant we paid a visit to the laundry room (that we ordinarily have not been to until the next round of laundry in a few days). There was a mysterious hissing noise and that turned out to be a leaking washer hose! No puddle yet, it had apparently just started leaking!
She suggested we shut off the water, finish our dinner while it was hot, then fix the plumbing. Calm Sutragirl. Great idea. After some pretty good take-out Thai food from Grand Thai and Sushi (606 and 50), we got out the necessary tools and fixed the hose connections. She rocks…
I am thinking of a month ago when I caught the 30 gallon fish tank just starting to leak, and I am very thankful both leaks were caught so soon, before any real damage happened.
