I just spent the last half hour or so cleaning up water. Why you ask? My wife decided to run a bath in the en-suite completely full to the top of the tub. Did she drain some water before getting in? Nope. Jumped in the tub.......... F’n water everywhere. Soaked the bedroom carpet but luckily the furnace vent was there to act as a drain 🤦♂️🙄 (Extreme sarcasm for vent as a drain) Did she gets out to help? Of course not. I’m busy guys. Might check back in later.

Don't ask me why, but this reminds me of one particular time me, my wife, son, daughter & son-in-law went fishing in the intracoastal. The tide was going out so we anchored up next to a creek and were fishing around the mouth of the creek. S-I-L gets out of the boat and wades across the little creek and walks along the bank casting a lure. We were fishing with mud minnows we had caught earlier. My son was probably 12 at the time and he had to take a dump. No problem, go overboard and do your business. He does and about that time S-I-L is wading back to the boat. Unfortunately, he is downstream from the dumpage and as he is wading across the creek, about waist deep, no shirt, he sees this strange flotsam surrounding him. He had waded straight into the debris field! At first he was horrified at what he was in the midst of but the rest of us were howling. When he cleared the danger he thought it was pretty damned funny too. That was a good day. We caught fish and had a good laugh. Now, Teddy, hopefully wifey didn't do her business in the tub!

Water fiasco update.
Procrastinating finishing the basement really helped me out with this one.
Only about a quart of water made it down the vent. I drilled a hole in an elbow fitting to drain the water. Luckily, it was a low point and nothing made its way to the furnace. I’ll duct tape the drilled hole closed after some drying time.
A little water made its way to the basement by the toilet flange. This brings up the debate of using silicone around the base of a toilet. I remodelled the bathroom about 2yrs ago and I didn’t silicone because I would want to catch a flange leak. Some guys do, some guys don’t.
Not nearly as bad as I thought. She thought it was funny until I explained how much damage it could do to a finished basement.
All good now 👍
