Hello, Tim!
It was another school-less day!
8/16, Thursday
At noon, Mom was doing the dishes. There were just a few plates, for there were only two people. Then, something off happened.
Mom noticed water coming up from the floorboards by the sink, and it was not good news. Before we moved here, the floors were the basic white ceramic tiles that were apparently old. That was why we decided to lay another layer of wood-patterned plastic floorboard above it- It was the most economical option to get to the objective. One ‘minor’ drawback of this kind of floor was that it is not water-resistant. Once the water finds its way under the planks, it would make the glue lose its force, and eventually destabilize the plank.
I went over to the sink by my mother’s side, and I knelt down to check the floor. The rows of planks closer to the sink were soaked with water! We didn’t know where the leak was from, and Mom almost panicked.
We check the pipes that were linked to the kitchen sink, which could be found just inside the cupboard beneath the sink. It was dark in the cupboard, so Mom reached her hand into the cupboard, and her hand came back wet.
We found the cause of the problem and now was the time to solve it. Mom called a plumber, and when we came and examined the drains, he said that it was clogged.
He fixed the clogging with a machine he took with him, and I guess it was the end of our drainpipe episode.
What about eh dislocated planks?
Mom later asked the people who help us with the planks in the first place, and he said he could fix it, but it would have to wait until next Saturday.
This is all for today.
