First, and the most important, there is no drainage hole in the inside/front of our kitchen sink. It's single sink, not two separate ones next to each other, like we had before. I told my wife last week, "if we forget to shut off the water in that sink, you know what will happen", and it happened!
I was filling the sink with soapy water to clean the plastic food storage containers that were sitting there. We had to get another 4K DVR from our cable company for our tv to see if the tv picture was messing up due to the age of the tv (bought in 2008) or if the current 4K DVR we were using was bad. I was in the living room installing that and completely forgot the water was running in the sink. Only certain times at home do I wear my hearing aids and I didn't have them on. So, after I finished getting the 4K DVR hooked up, I took the other one to the kitchen so we could return it to the cable company store. As I walked into the kitchen, I could see the facet running and water all over the kitchen floor and headed for both the spare bathroom, laundry room and living room. i immediately shut the facet off, but water will still going over the edge of the sink onto the floor. So, I pulled the plug covering the garbage disposal and let the water out.
We don't have a long-handled sponge mop, because we have an iRobot mop. I was thinking, "what the heck am I going to use to get up all of this water?" Well, I used every bath towel we had! Without getting the other floors too wet, from the dripping of the bath towels, I rushed the towels out to the patio and laid them out to dry. We have a few small rugs in the kitchen and they were soaked also. Was able to get them out on the patio also.
So, while all of this was going on, my wife was on a "business call" with the company she works for. I didn't want to interrupt her, so I didn't say anything. When she was finally done with her "conference call", I had finished up wiping up most of the water. I told her what had happened. The entire next day, I spent washing and drying all of the towels and the small rugs were all dry from being outside.
We now have a very, very clean kitchen floor, clean bath towels and clean kitchen rugs. (LOL)
