So for a week or maybe two I had noticed a little water on the floor in front of the kitchen sink. At first I thought it was splashed from a drippy faucet or maybe from washing dishes. Well it got bigger and deeper and finally I looked into the dark and nasty space under the sink. But I didn’t see anything dripping. The sink pipes are on the outside of the wall and I didn’t see any dripping there either. I was afraid it was leaking underground so I dug around the base of the pipes but it was very dry.
So I pulled up the rotten chip board. Finally realized it was a drain connection dripping. I *thought* I fixed it. Trial run, no leakage.
Cleaned up the crud and cut some boards. Just trying to close up the space. Haven’t got enough time, money or energy to do more than that right now.
As done as it’s getting for now. Of course at this point we are washing dishes and cleaning up the mess. And that’s when I noticed the drain is dripping again. I stuck a bucket under it and called it good. For now. I think I know what the issue is and will fix it. In the meantime the bucket works. And now I can get on with the things that I had planned for this week!
#appreciation
I do appreciate that it was just the drain and not a water line. I also appreciate that I didn’t have to dig any ditches.
