He is accused of using the carpet in front of A's bedroom door as his personal bathroom. He was promptly scolded by the girls and K lost the bet to clean up the wetness he caused. (A had a bad headache) Off K went with her roll of papertowels and grumpy face. I followed a few short minutes later with a grocery sack to put the offending papertowels in. One step onto the carpet and looking at all the water I saw I knew that Suspect # 1 was off the hook!
Here is the actual culprit of the water:
Yep the waterheater had decided that 30 years was enough of a service to anyone and promptly decided to leak out the bottom onto the carpet! Called in Brett from outside where he was about to start mowing the lawn and he took a quick inventory and then went to Home Depot to purchase a new and improved water heater! :)
We cleaned the carpet (wetvac) drained the old one enough to get it out of the closet. Put the new one in and Brett said a few choice words as the new on is much shorter than the old one. Worked and worked and finally had to just put the water back on without the hot connected. Quick trip the next day to Home Depot again another hour or so later we had hot water!
We were just glad that this little culprit decided to leak the day BEFORE we left for Spokane for a few days. Can you imagine the MESS we would have had when we got back?? ummm no thanks! :)

That could have been slightly disastrous, thank goodness you caught the right culprit.
