Ok, so I just posted about working on the basement right… so guess what happens? We had a little flood!!!

Ok, I may be pushing it a bit far saying a flood but there WAS water all over the floor. I was doing laundry and went back downstairs to switch the loads and before I even got to the laundry room I noticed water all over the floor - dark soapy water. I was washing a rug that we put in the kitchen in front of the sink (so it’s softer on our little feets) which means it is black, full of fluff and of course animal hair (love you guys…). I guess the little fluffies from the rug backed up the sink and it filled up, up and over! So I went upstairs and called Ted, sent him to look in the basement and then I fell down the stairs… seriously. I only pinched my baby finger (I have no idea how). Now it has blood pooling under my skin and a big bruise. Actually today it hurts a lot but is also kind of numb… strange.

Anyway, we had to move a bunch of things around so that the water drain into the well, drain, in the next room. We also had to pick up some foam tiles (I have them around the laundry area so that it is softer on my feets… hmmm, trend) and move some construction material that we don’t want to get moldy. Then we turned the de-humidifier (thank you Warren) on bust and hopefully when we get home today, anything that was still damp will be dried out.

However, the very lucky thing about this whole situation is that if we hadn’t cleaned up down there it would have been disgusting and we would of had no space to move things around and clean up! Yah for us!
