We went to NJ for Christmas this year and it was awesome. I was sad to go, but our trip home was made a little happier because we took back a lot of furniture that Ryan’s mom was trying to get rid of. We are now the proud owners of a washer and dryer.

Ryan hooked them up so I could test the first load. I did a large load of towels and announced proudly to Ryan that our first load of laundry was underway. About 20 minutes later someone was banging on our door.

Ryan answered the door and someone who didn’t speak more than 10 words of English said something about water. Ryan ran to the washer and saw that our whole laundry closet was full of water and the carpet was wet!

Apparently, the hose that leads to the drain doesn’t securely stay in the wall, so we had a super sized load of water pooled around our new washer and dryer and dripping down into our neighbors apartment through their smoke detector. We have since duct taped the hose down, but I don’t know if I trust the thing to stay. Worst of all, our neighbors don’t speak English, so we can’t properly apologize. I truly am SORRY!
