Amity bailed on that presentation waay too fast! Thanks for the excuse to get out of there
Also, Camila and Vee, rather than putting buckets in the sink, you should probably start by turning off the water
YOU, reader! Pop quiz! Do you know how to do turn off the water if YOUR sinks turns into a water fountain? Don’t wait until that happens to go looking, now’s a good time to double check!
At least in the US, you’ll probably have two shutoffs under your sinks, one each for hot and cold water. Toilet shutoffs are also pretty easy to find. Bathtubs/showers can be a bit trickier, you might not be able to turn those off directly. Do you know where the shutoff is for your entire house/unit? Some leaks like to be annoying and happen in the middle of the wall
While you’re at it, why not double check your smoke alarms and fire extinguishers if you haven’t done so in a while. Yeah, fire extinguishers need to be checked. See that little needle on there? Make sure its still in the green, or you might have to recharge it to make sure it still has enough pressure to actually extinguish fires
My first thought was “I’d go to the water main in the laundry room because I can’t figure out under the sink but the one in the laundry room is very very obvious”
I did go check my fire extinguishers, still both good!
