...with righteous smitings with much smoten smitty smo!
Today we had a titanic battle... Me vs. The Leaky Washing Machine of Dewm.

Yep, you heard me.

Yesterday, the housemates and I spent a delightful hour or so mopping up after (we thought) our washing machine sprang a leak. After checking the seals and so on we couldn't find the blasted thing, so cautiously delcared it off-bounds.

Being the sensible soul that I am, I decided to ignore this and run a load through... but just keep a really close eye.

So I did... and all went well until I heard the suspicious pattering sound from under the sink...

...turning the machine off at the Speed of Terror (tm) I peer beneath the fixture in question and found water fountaining out of the outflow pipe. It was obviously blocked at the water was being forced back up.

Desperate measures were needed, to save the world, the country, the house, its floor... and quite possibly my sanity I concocted a Cunning Plan...

...I ran a bypass with parts from the Vaccum Cleaner.

No. Really.
