Oh - oops!

After effects of after shocks saw the washing machine hose shake loose of the outlet pipe & a little after midnight on the 28th December we found ourselves with a substantial amount of water running into the house....

72 hours later, with the aid of two huge nosey industrial fans it was all dried out!
May I mention now that the white noise of fans running day & night for that long is enough to drive a person to distraction!
