The Washing Machine That Washed the Floor

Paula turned the washing machine in our new house on for the first time this Saturday. The machine immediately started to leak and water ran out on the floor of the bathroom. Paula, on the verge of panic, turned the machine off and switched the water off. The machine still leaked for a while. Luckily, the floor is covered with a plastic mat that stands water and when the water was dried up the floor got cleaner.

In the evening, Paula talked to her mother, who knew what to do. There is a vent in the lower end of washing machines that was probably left open when the bathroom was cleaned before we moved in. Paula located the vent and closed it, then she could turn the washing machine on again. Now everything worked.

However, in the early morning Daniel discovered a huge amount of water on the bathroom floor again. He dried it up and realised the water hose for the water exiting the machine had fallen off, but this was easy to mend. Now our washing machine is fully functional.

Alltid är det något. :)
Det är lite pyssel att lära sig allt nytt med huset.

Ja, visst är det, men det går bättre och bättre dag för dag. Vi har fått upp hela vår rastgård nu, det var skönt att sträcka på benen i den i går kväll.
