One of those nights.....

There is a lesson here.. let the missus do the laundry at all times.

Give South time to train Fez properly to the duties of the house. I was trained well to do everything except ironing

Blessings

Im not even trained to do ironing.

What IS ironing?

That's why us silly Americans put the laundry room in the basement. There's drains in the floor down there.

You're such a humble man, George. Let the world be aware that a man who can run a house is an accomplished man indeed. Pity the poor bumpkins that have to depend on the nearest WOMAN to take care of them; a crisis comes along (divorce, death of a spouse, a spouse becoming disabled) and they're toast. Fez will be just fine; if he can do all that, he's a natural.

Something our ancestors participated in; until the invention of no-iron fabrics. I think it was a marathon of some sort.

Too Much Soap?

The Navy Taught Me To Iron

Only All The Clothes Are Turned Inside-Out First

Leaving Anything Ironed With "Blousey" Seam Lines i.e. Carol Does The Ironing!

Except in areas like the Gulf; we have NO basements here. But whatever the room designated for laundry....it has a floor drain.

I learned to iron my dad's military uniforms. If you can iron military uniforms, you can iron anything.

No basements in the west either unless your rich and can afford to have one dug. We also for the most part have no floor drains either and many of the newer houses were built with laundry upstairs, we do have 'pans' that catch the water if the washer does overflow.

Oh man......

We are in a drought situation. Tonight as South slept a trickle of water came through the taps The first in two days!

Being the good husband I am I decide surprise her and do the laundry (which has piled up a bit). This is at about 10 pm...

Washing in the machine, guess which thingy the soap goes in. It was the one that looked a little more soapy than the other ones......

Figure out the dial thing. Switch the machine on.

Bam!!!! Water all over the place. The pipe from the tap on the wall behind the machine (can't get at it), has burst.

Run around for house keys in an inch of water Scoot outside and turn the mains off. (which really burned me up, seeing as though it was the first water I had seen in days )

Get the mop and start cleaning water. Move the machine from under the counter (those things are heavy!). Find the fault. repair it. Then start wondering why water won't enter the machine. Outside for the toolbox. Strip the machine and clean the filters (the first water brought with it all sorts of interesting bits - we call them TBHP - tiny bits of Hippo Pooh - but we don't say Pooh ).

Put it all back together. Start the machine.

Now I am too scared to go to bed before the thing does it's thing.

It's going to be a long night

If South walks into her kitchen tomorrow morning and asks whats this mess in here?

Watch this space......

Is there anything you can't do?

Yeah, remember to turn the main back on!
