(I'm not sure I really believe this one. - JS)one time my wife and i (who live just outside l.a. on the big fault line) discovered that our dishwasher would randomly spew water into our crawlspace during its wash cycle, how did we find out you ask?, heres how: every time the washer did its thing we would hear a "clunk clunk BAM BAM BAM BAM sssssssssssss WWWWWOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHH!!!!" so after sticking my head inside we discovered that (a) its very hot inside washers, and (b) the sprayer was loose and was thwacking against the side (clunk clunk) then during the dry cycle when the sprayer spun it REALY hit the wall (BAM BAM BAM BAM) and when the hot air escaped it went ''sssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!" then the rinse cycle started (by this time there was a small hole in the case, wich the rubber lining covered up nicely but at high water pressures it did not) and wwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooossssshhhh!!!!!!!!!!! out came a good one quarter of the rinse water into the crawl space below our house
so we called the repair man who fixed it immediatly, it was only then did we realize our true problem, THE WATER!!!! the next day our good old washer fell through the floor (result of the water and the house inspector declared our houise unfit for occupation and we were forced to move out of our house, 14 days and $8,000 later we fixed the hole in the floor, yet we stiil had the biggest problem of all, the water. five days later there was a small tremor and our house sunk four inches into the ground and our floor was cracked, suddenly the foundation collapsed and our house was reduced to a pile of boards and concrete the adobon society sent us a letter of condemnation for destroying a nest of alligators (they had been living under our house) and greenpeace sued us for $100,000,000 and won
p.s. i know this has very little to do with crawlspaces but its very funny
