Flooder

Our upstairs bathroom is getting close to being done. I finished sealing the grout on the floors and wall on Sunday. Tonight I was finishing up scrubbing the excess grout sealer off the tile before the Toilet, Sink and Faucet (capitalized out of excitement) are installed tomorrow.

I've lost about an inch since I was 'young' and I must not be adjusting to my shortening height. I tried stepping over the bucket and managed to flood the new tile floor. Bob was standing there talking to me at the time so he went to get mops and I worked on slopping the water back into the bucket.

We got the mess cleaned up. I have a great appreciation for my new floor -- and now it is freshly cleaned. I don't recommend this as floor-washing method.

As I was sopping up the mess, Flooders came to mind. The water pooled nicely on the tile instead of leaking under the baseboard. The Flooders were the boys who lived in the section of the dorm Aaron was assigned to when he went to LeTourneau. Once upon a time, a bunch of the boys boarded up the tile bathroom, turned on the showers and went swimming – until the boards let loose a whole lot of water and flooded the dorm.

I don’t want a pool. I did wonder if it would be a good idea to add a lip to the floor that would prevent spills from draining out into the hall….
