The Washer Incident

So Scott gets a call at 5:05pm today from a frantic Janna. The washer was spewing water from the bottom and it would not turn off. Scott drove home quickly and found that Janna had indeed managed to turn the water off. It turned out to be a night of trudging through water, cleaning water out of closets, draining the washer, troubleshooting, draining the washer again, internet research, taking the washer apart, and pulling out the water inlet valve. Scott leaves for Oklahoma tomorrow afternoon so we are hoping we can (1) find the part in Orlando, (2) have Janna run to pick it up and bring it back in time for (3) Scott to reinstall it at lunch so that (4) Janna can wash some clothes so (5) Scott has clothes to wear in Oklahoma. If any one of those steps fails to happen (or happens too slow) it could be a pretty embarrassing trip to Oklahoma.

We count ourselves blessed because these type of disasters usually happen after Scott leaves.

We'd like to hear "the rest of the story!"
