Water Down Below

Brian and Joce Wikle came to visit just in time... to save us from our flood.
I was outside tinkering in the garage when lo and behold the Wikles from Texas pull up. It was good to see them and their adorable kids.

I was showing them the improvements on our house and when we were headed down to visit the basement we spotted water and mud at the bottom of the stairs. After much investigating found out we had a busted sprinkler and that morning's cycle and filled the basement window well and it had been trickling into the basement.


Unfortunately Brian and Joce had experience in flooding, but lucky for me they knew exactly what to do.

Brian got everything out of the wet rooms and we got the pad thrown away and the carpet up to dry. My VTs and neighbors had fans over in a jiffy and we were drying out. I was able to save the carpet with a lot of shopvaccing and fans.

The carpet guys came Monday and put it all back together Yeah!!
