The Flood!

A lot of homes in the neighborhood have experienced flooding, but mostly because of too much rain in a short amount of time.   We always worried about it, but felt pretty good about our house because we had two sump pumps.  One night Cambree told me that there was a wet spot on the carpet by her closet.  So I checked it out and sure enough something was leaking and causing a big mess in her room.  A plumber came and found a leaking pipe behind the water heater.  So he fixed it and we proceeded with cleaning up the mess in Cambrees room.

A couple of days after we got that leak fixed, Bryan was home working in the kitchen and heard some water running.  He went downstairs into the basement and found water everywhere.....the family room, bathroom, the girls rooms, the storage room, water everywhere.  He quickly started to move furniture around and tried to get as much as he could upstairs.  Apparently the water heater blew open and nearly 40 gallons of water poured out.  What a mess!!  Thankfully we had a wonderful landlord that didn't waste any time and found some people to come and start the clean-up process, which we found out was going to take way too long.  And for about 4 weeks we lived in mess haha.  Made life interesting, cutting our living space in half.
