You guys might remember that a few months ago, one of the burners on our gas cooktop exploded while I was using it. That was scary! And, unexpected, as we had just moved into a brand new house with fancy-pantsy Dacor appliances.
I never mentioned that when we moved in, the furnace didn’t work or that the gas meter leaked. Those things didn’t seem worth mentioning. But, I feel I have to mention them now to share with you our latest debacle – a flooded kitchen!
It seems things always go wrong for us on Fridays, and we have had a string of doozies the last few Fridays. This last one was a real doozie, and it reared its ugly head after lunch on Friday.
Just what I wanted! Ripping out hardwood flooring in a house that isn’t even a year old yet! When we bought this house, we were so excited because for once, we weren’t buying a filthy dump that we were going to have to renovate for three years. We could finally get a place that was already nice!
To be fair, the culprit here was a faulty faucet that had been leaking internally for probably months before letting us know there was a problem by leaking externally. The plumber said he’s never seen this. The builder said he’s never seen this. I really don’t like being the outlier!
In any case, it’s in the process of being fixed, but my kitchen is fairly out of commission again.
This panorama is a little blurry but you sort of get the idea:
I feel like the third time typically is the charm, so fingers crossed that once this is fixed we are good to go!
I do have a post planned this week, so I’ll be back on Wednesday with a non-cooking post. Have a good week all!

Oh I’m so sorry. Wow, that is terrible. I hope it’s fixed quickly. Wow, what a pain this has been for you. Good luck, and try to enjoy the rest of the week. It can only get better.
Oh man really sorry about this .. for lack of better vocabulary .. this just sucks!!! At least you guys know how to go about fixing this stuff !!! Good Luck!!
Thanks gals. It is just a bump in the road — though the road has been bumpy for a while! We’ll get there — and at least we are still in the warranty period!
