Nothing wrong with that ..
Waterfalls through your house have been around since the 30s :becool:

My daughter just created two waterfalls in the front hall by way of flooding the ensuite!!!
I'm not sure it'll catch on.
I'm struggling to understand how she didn't notice she was standing in four inches of water, and to not drown her!
Oh come on,lets be fair,we have experience in this kind of thing,four inches isn't too impressive....or so I'm told:tongue:(last year excepted,If you were affected last year,feel free to tell me off)

Not last year, but 2005. There was definitely more than 4 inches running through the downstairs!
All's well now, lights and smoke alarms are functioning again, and the bathroom is sparkling!

Reminds me of a story donkeys years ago.My brother was a whizz with Tropical fish.He had a few tanks in the box room.It's surprising how much water is in even a small tank,or out of it,when a stone falls from your fingers while messing around.What a sight.

I disconnected the top off an external filter without thinking and flooded the living room with 15-20 gallons of water. My wife went to bed and said it better be ok in the morning.

I think all the people I knew who kept tropical fish had a burst tank at one time. On a night shift years ago the foreman got a call from his wife at about 4am to come home immediately as she had heard a noise in the lounge and on going down discovered considerable gallons of water and a lot of dying fish on the carpet.

Yeah, it's why I don't have it in house anymore. I've got laminate wood flooring now so a repeat would kill the floor.

I've taken it into work now - a repeat will get me a row, but not cause the same damage!
