Flooding

The basement flooded this afternoon. It came through the window and down the wall. The floor soon filled with water as it swept toward the stairs, the stack of new sheet rock and the boys bedroom. The water soaked the sheetrock, went under the walls to fill the bottom of the stairs, the first four feet of the boys bedroom and into the utility room surrounding the water heater and the furnace.

It was wet.

And messy.

I pulled out the carpet and pad from the bottom of the stairs, filled the wet dry vac a number of times and killed a black widow spider in the window well. A frustrating afternoon!
