I just went to change the water cooler bottle and managed to drop the new one on the floor while trying to flip it in the downwards position and the bottle split open. 5 gallons of water all over the kitchen and dripping down to the basement below. I can't believe the bottle would crack like that , what a mess, and 5 gallons of spring water gone, but the floors are spotless now. We managed to get it cleaned up with little damage to anything, it pays to have tiled floors.

I had a unit with a fridge full of food - fridge and freezer. The unit had power cutoff for 2 years. Everything in the fridge liquified and was oozing out through the magnetic seals for a long time onto the kitchen floor. The guys I hired to clean out the fridge and kitchen puked during the clean up, I could smell it 50 feet outside of the townhouse once the fridge door was opened up.
I've had a number of dead people found over the years but thankfully none of them were dead for too long, they say the smell of death is never forgotten , but i have not smelled it yet.

I just caved and bought something from Amazon. 
I don’t mind paying a bit more to avoid ordering from them but the shipping was going to be $95 vs. $0 on Amazon. That’s significant when the item I’m buying is only $50.

I just re-caulked my shower. We found some water making its way under the tiled floor which we are in the process of replacing, so I am caulking it to keep it safe. I hope that solves the issue. New tile floor to be put down next week as soon as the tiles arrive.
