a true horror story
I own a duplex unit that is between tenants and getting new tile floors to replace the old vinyl... The installer pulled the quarter-round *and* a nail that was driven through the molding and into the plastic house main supply water line coming up out of the slab! Turning off the water at the street did not completely stop the flow ;( but I managed to clamp and seal it (after using the nail as a plug). I figure that 2 inch (!) casing nail had been there since the last floor was installed, maybe 10 years ago... Oh, the joys of owning... HankC |
