cleaning carpets and plumbing kitchen stuff

My community brothers are always conscious about the rugs and carpets that they use inside the Church during celebrations of Eucharistic ceremonies in a Simple monastic profession or Solemn-Perpetual monastic profession of a novice or simply professed brother of our community. These celebrations would always require the brother being professed to prostrate, genuflect or kneel down the floor.

This would require all the brothers assigned in the preparation of the ceremony to spread down clean carpets on the floor of the Church where the prostration will actually occur. Thus, the head of the team who would always and is expected to emphatically prepare such carpets to be cleaned by a special team of carpet cleaners in Phoenix. So, to ensure that all our carpets are thoroughly cleaned and made ready for such very significant ceremony, and to avoid the brother who will prostrate on the carpet from getting hives or allergies from dust and whatnot, it is always a must that such carpets to be used must be sent to a special and professional team of carpet cleaners who are indeed such the the best and such an authority in cleaning carpets.

On the other hand, our kitchen has always been the object of ridicule when it comes to its plumbing issues, especially during the winter season. I still remember when one day, our brothers were all awakened from their sleep because one monk was hysterically knocking at every door of our cells. The reason? - our kitchen was all flooded and we did not realize so soon that the water came out from busted connection of pipes that were triggered by such poor plumbing. So, with such experience, our superior sought the help of a tam of professional plumbers in Phoenix in order to seriously attend to such a nuisance!. This story will never be forgotten especially by among those who have personally witnessed such a horrible night of fiasco and chaos in our kitchen simply because of a busted pipe which later was fixed by such experts in plumbing.

Do you also have stories to tell about such incidents like my community brothers has had in the past? Come on, share them here and I may get some serious lesson from it all!
