All I Never Wanted to Know about Plumbing and Which has Been my Misfortune to Discover

Dec 05, 2007 10:36

We are renovating the kitchen and the laundry area. In order to install the new flooring, everything needs to be cleared out. I successfully disconnected the dryer and the washing machine, but the supply hoses continued to drip even after I tightened the shut-off valves. Score: 3 dish towels and one bucket.

No matter how hard I turn, I can't disconnect the water line from the refrigerator (which is now completely blocking one door). Same with the dishwasher.

I did manage to remove the dishwasher drain line from underneath the sink where it's connected to the disposer. However, in a completely "D'oh!" moment, I ran water in the sink on the disposer side. Score: 1 dish towel, 3 bath towels and wet socks from where it spilled out of the cabinet on to the floor.

AARGH! At least I removed some light fixtures without electrocuting myself!
