Water, water everywhere...

On Tuesday night, I came home to Casa del Agua. That's right, our home had become a lake. It turns out that our neighbor had a pipe break and it flooded his place AND ours. It was lovely. Our entire first floor was soaked. Thankfully, Bailey was at daycare, so she discovered the disaster with me. I can only imagine what she would have done with water flooding in. Then again, she might have just slept through the whole thing!

I was supposed to be meeting my friend, Katie, to celebrate St. Patty's Day. Instead, she rushed over to help me survey the damage and start moving things. Garth's parents arrived with shop vac in tow and thanks to them, we got all of the water up. There was so much water that it filled the shop vac three times.

The water is gone, but there is some serious damage to our floors. Below are a few pictures of the damage, though it's a bit hard to see.

The water in our living room.

Here's what's left of our area rug. It was so saturated and it took quite an effort for Katie and I to drag the rug out of the house.

For the best sense of the damage, here's a video I took. The adjuster came today and it looks like we will be able to get some new flooring out of the ordeal! I'll be sure to take pictures of the process. More to come!
