Take the man out of Texas, but can’t take the Texan out of the man.
Mason jar’s rule!

Mason jar’s rule!
So I guess you know where I got mine, right? I picked up a dozen of them at The Mason Jar out on I-10 at Gessner in Houston back in 1999. They don’t have mugs out here in San Diego. When friends come over they are amazed at my collection of mugs.
Back when we had property in Rosarito there were vendors galore that had knock-offs. More than one has been broken in Baja. Ole!
Here’s you replacements:

thanks for the responses. i agree that a pan would be useless for any catastrophe that would occur with a washer. ill look into local codes. im looking into an electronic water shut-off device in its place.
Sorry to get off topic, but Barry brings up a valid point.
Once a Texan, always a Texan. Especially their deep accent.
Here’s a few examples…
Dare – Not a challenge, but a term of endearment
Dare means " Dear "
As In: Moe cawfay muh dare?
“More coffee my dear?”
Dade – Yes, It’s also a county in Georgia
Dade means " Dead "
As In: Muh bat trees dade.
“My battery is dead.”
No bats in the trees, they just need a jump.
Daince – Rhymes with aint’s
Daince means "Dance "
As In: Aah jus lock tu daince un hava gud tom.
“I just like to dance and have a good
time.”
Dawn – Same word, but it has nothing to do with the sun.
Dawn means " Dying "
As In: Muh doeguhs dawn
“My dog is dying.”
Or: Alm dawn muh shart
“I’m dying my shirt.”
Day yum – Sometimes Texans like to add a few more letters
to a word for emphasis.
Day yum means “Damn”
As In: Day yum thayut chele as bodacious.
" Damn, that chili is bodacious."
See "B " for reference. The Texan really likes
the chili.
Listen to Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck.” Everything on there describes my RPEFF family in Deep South Texas. Which is why I live in San Diego.
David, be careful, you live in MASS. so you pak ya cah and eat chowdah
Ya, Ya. I know. We have a hard time pronouncing our R’s…don’t we?
I pahked my cah at a pahkin meeta in Baston nea the Havahd Yahd and paid a quada foh one houa pahking and then went to go drink a beea at the bahroom nea Fenway pahk. Afta that, We had a wicked good time at the Red Sahx game.
David,
I have to laugh, I grew up in your area before moving to NH in 1985.
I go back to visit my Mother or to Boston once in awhile.
Irrespective of whether a pan is required I point out the shutoff valves to the washer to clients, explain their operation, and document both in the FYI section of the report. I also verbally inform clients that “If this hose bursts, and there is no one around to turn off the water, it will be like sticking a garden hose in through the window and running it into this room”.
The FYI boiler-plate also include links to a supplier of better quality hoses and to two brands of auto-shutoff valves.
I take potential washer leaks so seriously because I’ve seen a situation where a failing washer supply hose directed a thin stream of water sideways from behind a washer and against an adjacent wall, from which it then ran down onto the floor.
Over a weekend it then wicked through the subflooring of the utility closet, down a hallway and into two bedrooms - as a result the wood flooring and its subflooring in all these areas had to be replaced.
Based on this experience if a drain pan is indicated I also recommend that: 1) water-proof material be installed on the wall behind the washer and 2) that it expend out at each side of the washer a sufficient distance to direct water from a burst or leaking hose into the pan.
