I washed a load of clothes tonight. Nothing all that big or filthy; the usual stuff. I went to go put it in the dryer about an hour ago, and there was nasty water all over the place. The drain line clogged without any warning. (I've had trouble with this drain before, but usually it gets slow for a while, then backs up just a little, and I snake it out, and if that doesn't work I call a plumber.) So I spent the last hour sucking up water with a shopvac, transferring it to a bucket, trudging it up the stairs and throwing it on the driveway. The drain must have clogged immediately and all the wash water ended up on the floor; it was a lot of bucketsful. At least it didn't stink much.
Now I'm drinking a beer (or maybe 3), and I'll set up fans and a dehumidifier. Not sure how much stuff got wet and will need to be thrown out. Will check on that tomorrow. At least the bathroom is on the main line and that never clogs [knock on wood] This was a branch line just for the kitchen sink and the laundry. So I'll wait until Tuesday to call the plumber and Wife will probably be pissed at me but that's OK.
I still need to put those clothes in the dryer...
