So there I was....(II)

I have a washer (clothes) on the second floor. Architects idea of "kewl". I know someone who had a hose break while they were away- fo get about it~~~~~~

I'd recommend shutting the water off at the valves if you are going on vacation. Also they make valves that have a shut-off activated in the event of a leak. But if you think about it, you have flex lines going to your sinks that could equally fail while you are away.
