Oh it Just Had to Happen

What happens when part of this breaks

and leaks in through this windowYou end up with fans and smells
throughout
your entire basement

I have decided that owning a home has its ups and it's downs. The ups are that it is yours. No one can tell you what to do with it, how to decorate it, etc. (Well sometimes that is.) Don't ask. The downfall would be that you have to deal with the disasters that come with it. Last year on October Conference weekend, we had a sewer backage that flooded our basement. Pain in the rear but a blessing in disguise. It enabled us to redo the basement which needed it so terribly bad. If you had seen it, you would agree. So come right around Thanksgiving we had new everything down there. Thanks Scotty and crew for helping on that one. There is the little back story which leads me to today. We woke up this morning to mud outside and Justin hearing water running. He went downstairs to check on things and the carpet rippled like water under his feet. Not a good sign. There was a good 2 inches of water covering every inch of our basement. A water main broke and leaked in through the toy room window over night. So awesome huh? I wish I would have taken pictures but I was too busy stressing out over things. Justin's friends Scotty and Tye came over to help suck things out. (Thanks Ashley and Paige for letting us borrow your husbands ;) All in all we filed a claim and ServPro is yet again bailing us out. Thank you for them and for our insurance company who must just love us at this point. I just hope this isn't becoming a yearly tradition.
