 Posted: Sun Nov 09, 2008 9:45 pm Post subject: The water wiggler has an unexpected side effect |
 |
|
It makes puddles on the floor above it.
I kept thinking the roof was leaking or something. I kept checking to be sure the entire house was covered by tiles or whatever. Nope everything is covered and water tight. But Fury's bedroom was always flooded.
I finally realized that the water wiggler is in the room directly below Fury's bedroom. So the water wiggler is spraying water upstairs.
Poor Fury goes to bed in a flooded room most nights because the kids decide that the best time to water wiggle is right before bedtime. Which of course keeps his environmental score in the red all the time.

| It took me a couple days to figure that out also. I cut the pool size in half and moved it outside. Better than having a floating pink spiderweb bed! |

I went through the same thing, and I'm the one who put the water wiggler there. I kept trying to "fix" the roof.
I decided to leave it and let it make messes for everyone. This is supposed to be a challenge, right?  |

You got us on this one. Took a couple days to figure it out. It's out side now and I don't think they have played with it since. Guess it's too much trouble to go out side to play. Even with more playground equipment out there too.

I kept it inside for just long enough that both Fury and Lark got a few cleaning skill points from mopping up - I didn't have any staff, in my perfect school, so Lark and Fury did all the cleaning and other housekeeping - with a little help from the children. Fury seemed to like cleaning toilets.

Yes I'm keeping it there too. I think it's hilarious.
Oddly Fury throws fits about it, shaking his fists and stomping his feet, but it's usually Lark who comes in and cleans it.
I missed a good phot-op with the water mess. I've been having humongous slowing problems with that house, so I tried removing some of the CC to see waht was causing it. I removed Fury's fancy bedroom set to see if that was it, but then the whole household ran in to Fury's bedroom and threw major fits because the bedroom set was gone. When they stopped throwing fits, they all started mopping. I was laughing my head off, and forgot to take pics.
Oh and I put the bedroom set back in, since everyone in the household seemed so emotional about it. |

| That's hilarious. I guess they realize it was made especially for them. How dare you remove it! |

| AHA, a kindred spirit. I miss so many good photo ops because I am laughing watching them. |

I found a solution
I dug a shallow basement in that part of the room. Now the water soaks into the ground as it's supposed to, and technically the wiggler is still inside the house.
The kids play with it every day when they come home from school, and since it's now winter in my game, and they're having snow days, it came in handy to entertain the little monsters...er...darlings.

That's was a genious idea. Never would have thought of that.
