Making Waterfalls

One of my favorite natural wonders is a waterfall. I love them. Now that we're living farther north, I hope we make our way to Niagara Falls before too long.


Since we've lived in our little townhouse, we have experienced two unnatural wonders in our home. I call them accidental waterfalls. The first, you remember, was when I mistakenly left the water running in the sink while the drain was plugged. What a mess! The second happened while Matt was at work...I was running water in the sink and all of a sudden I heard water pouring out behind me!

Water was pouring out of the kitchen light fixture. After several phone calls and a couple of visits, we learned that the evaporation coil in the AC was no longer working, the tray meant to catch any drips had rusted out and the overflow of water was finding it's way through the hole in the ceiling created for our light fixture.

After the HVAC guy shop vac'ed the excess water, everything dried up. Our good fortune: it just turned cool enough here that we don't need the AC anymore. Whew! 

My hope is that we can curtail any unnatural waterfalls in our home in the future. The natural wonders are far greater :)
