Laundry "Issue" April 3rd 2006

We had a slight issue with our laundry machine.  The "Out" drain hose from the washer came loose from the drain in the wall.  Trish had just started a load and gone out shopping when it came out.  An hour of laundry later Nick was awoken by "Nick, get up quick, the house is flooded."  The waste water had run under the walls, around the ceiling down the stairs and into the basement.  The neighbours came through with some help in terms of fans and dehumidifier.  We were able to dry out the place and get a steam cleaner from Trish's mom to clean all the carpets.  I suppose we now have to paint the stained walls and we will be in good shape.
