Well I made my first big boo boo.

Yesterday afternoon I was making water with the RO and turned it off around 430 to go to work for the nightshift. I went straight to bed when I got home at 6am the next morning and got up at about noon today.
It was then when I noticed the water in my apartment was shut off...

Turns out when I shut my RO off I just unplugged the booster pump and did not shut the inlet valve... This caused water to continually feed into my Brute trashcan and eventually onto the floor. Neighbours below me called in a leak last night but due to the only number my condo having being my roommates and hes up north working, they had to cut my water off. Turns out I spilled enough to do some damage to the utility room of the residence below and I was quoted a ceiling cost of around $1300.

Frig. Such bad luck. Bad day.
