Bathroom Issues

This is not the way to wake up in the morning.

It all started at 6:15 (EST). I woke up to what sounded like water running in the bathroom. I got out of bed and the floor was half an inch deep in water. The water was coming from the toilet. I thought something was wrong plumbing-wise. So, I came downstairs to see if that bathroom was experiencing water issues. Thankfully, it was not. But I did notice that water was dripping heavily and rapidly down from the ceiling in my dining room. Two of the ceiling tiles were swelling. I actually saw one burst. The other popped while I was getting a mop.

So, I called my head elder. He's a really amazing person. So, he came over and checked thing out. We headed upstairs, and that's when we noticed the problem. There was a crack in the toilet's tank. The water was just about drained, and it kept trying to refill itself. I'm not sure how long it was doing that. But it had to be quite some time for that much water to seep through the floor.

So, Dan came back with his camera and dehumidifier. We cleaned it up, which wasn't really that big of a deal. But still, it's more than just an inconvienience. With those toilet tank cracks, there's really no way to see it coming or much you do about it. So, it looks like I'll be getting a new toilet (or atleast a new tank) this weekend.
