Blogworthy

Life has been pretty boring here at the Schroeder household - hence the lack of updates..... To my large readership, I apologize :-)

I was talking to Tracie this morning and she said this was "blogworthy" so here we go....

Craig and I entertained some people last evening and someone must have need more "flush power" than we provide.  We keep a gallon of water in the tank of each toilet to reduce our water use (yay going green!). Well this morning, the gallon from the first floor bathroom was by  our basement stairs. Weird. So, like I mentioned earlier, someone must have needed some extra umph and took it out.

Kinda funny, but not a problem. I take the lid off the tank this morning and get ready to put the gallon back in, when... all of a sudden, while I'm looking at the open tank, a piece breaks and water starts shooting all over the place. Imagine Ben Stiller trying to contain this water - and you have Craig who I immediately screamed for.

So Craig is trying to stop the spray of water and I have to climb down to turn off the water. If you haven't been to our new house, this bathroom is tiny. When you sit on the toilet, your knees almost hit the wall in front of you. Width wise, it's just wide enough for a sink and toilet. Tiny. So fitting two people is a challenge when there isn't water shooting everywhere and one has to reach behind the toilet to turn a knob.

A challenge that was conquered! No more shooting water :-)

A trip to Home Depot is in order for today. Womp womp. At least we have two other bathrooms :-)
