We need pictures!
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

 I just called the guy that hung the shelves and well I am sure you can figure out how that went. >:(

The only thing that broke open was a qt btl of enzyme so it smells rather nice, and it all landed on a tile floor.

I would take pics but don't have my camera here,either way I have it half way cleaned up already, not sure what to do with all of it I have it on the floor in groups.  Guess I will go freestanding shelf shopping tonight cause its not getting mounted to the wall again!!

FLASHBACK 1996

That exact thing happened to me, but it happened at night.  When I came in I just stood there for like 10 minutes with my jaw dropped!

it cant be as bad as me leaving the hose run all night to fill a demo spa.  It was nice to get that call at 10 pm that my store was now a pond.   ;D

Yeah I thought I was doing myself a favor and fill it up with 2 hoses.  Well I shut one hose off, not the other though.

 I over filled a spa once, shut the water off outside the building, left hose with water siphoning  out. Got the shopvac out sucked up the water on the floor.  I get side tracked with a bunch of calls and various other things.  Then realized I left the hose in the spa it drained almost all the water out, so had to refill again.  ::)

 No wonder my wife wonders why I come home with the 1000 yard stare.   You would think the day of a spa salesman/service mngr/purchasing/what ever comes up type of guy would be that hectic??

 Vegas will be well needed!!

There's good news though. While fixing the sink I discovered why the drain has been running so slow..... IT WAS FULL OF PENCILS
