Ruined Fall Foliage Trip.......

Dishwasher full of brown nasty water, stains on the ceiling, our flooded stove and a nasty brown color of paper towels soaking up the water

I returned home on the evening of Friday to find my kitchen flooded with brown, foul-smelling water which had leaked through the ceiling from the upstairs apartment. The kitchen floor, carpets, insides of our oven and dishwasher, and food cabinets were contaminated.

................................

We had to stay home all day today .. cleaned the whole mess, made phone calls to the apartment manager and waited for them to fix the leak which they didn't. All this housework canceled the fall foliage trip - we can't reschedule it tomorrow since we have to go Stan's place.

Till now we are not sure if it is safe to use our dishwasher and oven again. Most likely we won't use them since we don't know what inside the dirty brown water .... we just have to eat out for 3 months.......
