Effing Plumber!!!

judecorpOn Friday we had some contractors, an electrician, and a plumber all up in our crib cutting our cabinets and installing a dishwasher. Which is awesome.
Tonight I put an extra-large load of laundry in the washing machine, as is typical for a Sunday. I just went downstairs to throw in the second load (I love summer because the clothes are smaller!) and there is water EVERYWHERE. All over the basement.
The plumber, for whatever reason, took the washer drain tube out of the drain spot and did not put it back. All of the water from the wash cycle and the rinse cycle are now on the floor of our basement, soaking EVERYTHING. Power tools. Boxes of books. Jen's sketchbooks. Baby stuff. Etc. We don't get water in our basement typically so we don't think about this sort of thing.
Color. Me. Pissed.
Jen's got the shop-vac going and I have to relieve her in a little while. And then do the laundry.
If the contractors don't have a nice offer to refund some money when I call them tomorrow, I'm going to have to get nasty.

But that sort of thing should be covered under THEIR insurance, so make sure you remind them that that's why they have liability insurance.
