So, this morning I go up and discovered water on my kitchen floor. It went from the dishwasher and under the stove. The drain had gotten clogged in the sink (from potato peels) and made it so the dishwasher couldn't drain out the dirty water. When we opened the dishwasher it was full of gross water. We got it cleaned up and had to take the pipe off from under the sink to get the clog out. It sprayed water every where. So once again we cleaned all the water up. Then Paige woke up and found water all over the floor in the basement. Come to find out the water that ran under the stove leaked into the basement. We moved the stove and found that the tile hadn't been sealed or even grouted under there. When we removed the tile there was a huge hole in the sub floor. Lucky for us we know how to fix that problem (we got experience from our last house, if any one remembers the mold in the kitchen). All I can say is that I am glad the basement isn't all of the way done or we would have had a leaking ceiling and no doubt MOLD!!!

Oh NO!!! I guess it's better than happening while you were gone or something. UGH! Need any help with it? I'm sorry you have to deal with this. *note to self - throw potato peels in trash*
Yuck! I am soo sorry! Thanks for your comment too by the way :)
My parents had a similar situation with potato peels and the dishwasher I think they actually got a new dishwasher at that point. They were told that disposers have a hard time with potato peels and that they should never put them in the disposer, so ever since they and also myself we always peel in a bowl then toss the peels in the trash it is a little bit more work but it all works out in the end!
