[QUOTE="Memberberries, post: 1816835, member: 106647"] I had a similar experience in college. We had a 2 story townhouse/apartment with bedrooms/bathroom upstairs and each bedroom had its own vanity. One day I was sitting downstairs watching TV and heard a noise that sounded like a garden hose got turned on upstairs, so I went to investigate. Walked into the second bedroom to see the vanitys door swung open and a stream of water shooting across the room. The shutoff valve on the sink was plastic and it split in half leaving an open 3/8 pipe. Cue panic and trying to figure out what to do. It was the hot water line so I thought I would try to turn off the hot water heater, run downstairs, search all I can and the apartment complex wanted to save money so bad that there was no shutoff for the water heater. Call maintenance in a panic and tell them the problem. They show up after about 20 minutes and tell me that they can't find the water shutoff for our apartment so they go to turn off the whole building but that valve leaked so they bypassed it a long time ago and never fixed it. Now they have to call the city and have the whole blocks water tuned off....... During this time I had found a garden hose, and two makeshift buckets, went back and forth filling buckets and dumping them in the bathtub. All my gun stuff was in a closet directly under the vanity. It rained through all sorts of places nasty water that washed through old apartment carpet upstairs and all the popcorn fell off the ceiling on my stuff. Bottom line is, my gun stuff now resides with no plumbing above it. [/QUOTE]
