piano in a room next to a wall. On the other side of the wall, a washing =
machine
with old hoses. Pinhole leak develops in hose. Owners are out of the =
country for
a month. Very thin high-pressure stream blasts its way through the =
drywall on
one side, the drywall an the other, and eventually ... the back rim of =
the
piano. Piano and part of the house destroyed.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Replace those hoses every now and then AND turn the spigots off when you =
