The other day I was sitting at my sewing machine when I hear this noise coming from my hallway... I get up to investigate and find that water is pouring quite fast out of the track lighting (While it was on! ah!) So I put a bucket down and think it's probably the tub upstairs. My ducks live inside and get a bath every night, so I'm assuming the tub leaked when it was draining (we had a slight problem with the tub leaking a little before). I go upstairs to get a towel...
I go upstairs and see that the tub that I thought was leaking was already drained and dry. The ducks are already done preening and back in their pen. I go to the other tub just to check, when I notice water pouring out of the bathroom and into my bedroom. I check the tub but it is empty... I was so confused!
So I scream to Joe (aka, Duck_feeder) to come help sop up the water, and noticed I hear it running but don't see where it's coming from. I check the toilet, but it's not running or overflowing...
I go grab towels and Joe runs upstairs to help... when he notices the problem... We have a two-way shower head that either sprays form the wall mount, or it can be redirected to a hand held shower head. The shower was on, and switched to the hand held.... But the tub was dry right? the Handle was OUTSIDE of the tub, hidden under the shower curtain. We normally place it outside of the tub because the ducks are scared of it. But how it got LEFT ON while someone just walked away, I'll never know....
So the water shot directing from the hand held, into the air duct for the forced air AC/heat.... Then it proceeded to fill up my ceiling above the front room.... We got downstairs just in time to see a massive bubble forming in the paint above, and to get the 5 gallon bucket to catch the water... We collected over 20 gallons of water from the various conduit and holes in the ceiling! Of course this comes at a time while we are re-painting and remodeling our entire downstairs area.... Now I'm gonna have to have my ceiling downstairs fixed and completely repainted! UGH!
And I can so for sure, it was not my fault! lol. I was downstairs the entire time working on sewing projects while Joe and my mom (who comes over to help me with house stuff when I get really busy with work. She does maid stuff for me, and I pay her cell phone bill, lol, it works out nicely), took care of the duck's shower/bath and their treats.... I think it was a combination of two separate people trying to take care of the duck's night time chores, and forgetting to turn off the water....
Like I said, I blame the ducks.... demanding showers and luke warm baths... lol. Spoiled punkies they are. Of course after we put them to bed, you could hear them "laugh-quacking" at us from upstairs in their room while we mopped.
