As Dad mentioned, our basement flooded Thurs. night. We actually had a little over 5 inches. We were guessing 3 or 4 earlier, but the water went to the top of our base trim, which I just measured at 5 inches. I don't know how he did it, but Dave morphed into Hercules and managed to save MOST of our belongings, including all our electronics and our tv stand and bookcase, which are the two pieces of furniture we would miss most. Our furnace and washer are fine. Our dryer is toast. Our water heater wasn't working, and we thought we'd be without hot water until the repair man comes on Thurs., but our neighbor has a plumber friend that came over today and fixed it. No more showers at Grandma's. :) Our bar will have to be completely replaced as well as at least 2 feet of drywall and the carpet, of course. The adjuster will be here Weds. AM. Good thing we increased our flood insurance 2 weeks ago. Our friend Ryan is our hero. He rushed over Thurs. night to help Dave (I was at work), helping us until 2AM, and was here helping all day Fri. and Sat.
Not much else to say...
I am a standby juror for Fri. I have to call on Thurs. to see if I'm needed. Not looking forward to driving to 26th and California. I've never been called before, so I guess I'm due.
Time to go mop the floor...again.
Dave was just stung by a bee! Hasn't he been through enough this weekend??? Time to go tend to the wounded.
Lots of Love,
Miss
