The ice maker in our fridge leaked again. It warped the hardwood underneath it and ran down a wall in the basement. I am ready to tear off the water line and tie it in a knot. Having ice dispensed from the fridge is nice, but it is a very expensive luxury if it costs us $1000 every couple of years to sand and refinish warped hardwood floors. And we will have to live with the warped floor for 6 months to a year just waiting for it to dry out enough for the work to be done. I hate this. I hate that this is the fourth or fifth time that my plumbing has cost me over $1000 in damages. I hate that it happened on a day that was already bad. I hate that Howard hundreds of miles away and too convention exhausted to talk on the phone for long.

Wonder if they make some kind of drip tray for fridges like they do for hot water heaters? If it has an attachment for a hose, that would be perfect.

Sadly fridges sit to low to the ground for this to work, but honestly I like the ‘Tying the line in a knot” idea. Cutting the supply of water sounds would end this trouble completely.
I’m very sorry for what happened Sandra. I hope the walls in the basement aren’t too bad either.
When the next book comes out, I’ll make sure I get away from work/school soon enough to take you and Howard to sushi…
Or something. I’m open to ideas here…

Isn’t it weird how everthing always decides to go wrong just when your husband is out of town? My front door never jams, my kids never need to go to the hospital, and my light bulbs never burn out unless Fabian’s on a business trip…
