We had a minor disaster today .... although it didn't seem so minor at the time. We decided that we wanted to change the location of the cash stand, which involved cutting a hole in one of the walls. Now mind you, this is a stone building and the walls are 2 feet thick...and stone. But we found a portion of a wall that obviously had once been open and was merely boards and sheetrock, so we went into destructo mode and hacked into it. It happened to contain plumbing from a previous bathroom, but no problem! We'd been told that the plumbing shut-off for the whole building was upstairs.
Au contraire! We cut the last pipe and water started gushing everywhere ... including through the floor where the toilet had been ... which happened to be over where my merchandise is being stored in the basement. EEK!!! Lots of cussing and running and mopping ensued.
In the end, it wasn't as bad as it seemed. We were able to rescue most of the merch. But the adrenaline rush just about did us in.
