There have been two problems. One was when we moved into this house in 1988. Took years to open all of the boxes.

Then on June 20, 2006, the tank on the toilet (2nd floor) cracked vertically sometime between midnight and 7:30 AM. One half of the house was wet. Big holes were cut in the ceilings and walls to dry things out. All items in 1/2 of the house had to be packed and removed along with the furniture. The repair work was not finished until 3 days before Christmas when all of the items and furniture were returned. A daughter and family visited for Christmas and we had to move boxes so they could get to the beds.

The gun room area of the house was not affected by the water. But many items were moved into the unaffected areas. And them when the other items were brought back, some had to be stored so as to allow mobility in he house, which meant things were moved again and again.

No firearms went out of the house. So I knew it was still there, but did not know where.

Was it right in the center in the back? I had this happen once on a toilet that had been minding its own business for 35 years. When I took the lid off the tank, the crack worked all the way around and the tank broke completely in half and fell on the floor.

Than Goddess I was home...

This crack was vertical at a corner.
