Leaky Weekend!

See boat listing to the right

We had a very leaky weekend!  Both the boat and the dishwasher were leaking!

Crack on the seam

First up was the boat.  Jim had hit a rock when running it up on shore at Cherry Lake a couple weeks ago and since then one of the pontoons started filling with water.  It got to the point where the boat was listing!  So we pulled it out of the water, drained the toon and then sauntered the crack.  It is back in the water and we have to wait a few weeks to see if it worked!

Drying the area and hoping the water didn't ruin the floor

Next up was the dishwasher.   I turned it on at about 11 am and at about 11:15 am a friend came running up from downstairs saying there was water coming down from the ceiling in the basement!

We quick turned off the dishwasher and pulled it out while sopping up the water downstairs.

Waiting to be loaded in the truck!

We ended up bringing it home to trouble shoot and found that the heating element had broken and shot a piece of hot metal right through the dishwasher tub.  That allowed the water to pour out of the tub onto the floor and through the ceiling.

The silver circle in the upper corner is a hole!
Next up this week - buy a new dishwasher.
