I work on the opposite side of the city, and in no traffic it takes 30 mins to commute
So my phone rings at 9am, its my 12 yr old daughter. She tells me the toilet is leaking. I ask where and she indicates at the back. So I get her to turn off the water to the toilet.
She then tells me the floor is full of water, and she's going to clean up all the water that's on the bathroom tile.
Finally, she says that she went downstairs to the kitchen (below the bathroom) and found wet spots. Off to home I went.
Here is what I found. (sorry for the quality, taken with Blackberry)
The bad news is I have water damage.
The good news is my daughter was home and caught it before it became a BIG problem
The great news is my wife will finally get pot lights installed in the kitchen like she wanted.
Turns out the tank bolt had loosened and leaked. New bolts, washers, and seal installed and double nut installed to prevent future issue (along with the other upstairs toilet)
