...And the floods came up...

This past week has not been a very fun one. Thursday morning, we woke up to about 3 inches of water on the floor in the bathroom and the room next to the bathroom. Justin was trying to blame it on me, when all of a sudden, we heard water squirting. We looked under the sink, and one of the hoses was so old that it broke and so when the pump would kick on, water would squirt everywhere. Justin called our landlord and he sent a carpet cleaning company up to us to assess the damage. Well, come to find out, the wall behind the sink was full of water; it seeped into the floor, and was dripping into the basement. It filled up some of the duct work and was heading towards the furnace. We spent all morning trying to get the water soaked up and figure out what to do next. The cleaner determined that to get everything completely dried out, we had to pull up the flooring. We were very lucky, because right in the doorway of the bathroom, there was a seam in the linoleum. Otherwise, we would have had to pull the flooring in the kitchen. It was a long and grueling process, but we got it done. Now we are just waiting for the contractor to determine what all needs to be done. None of our stuff got ruined, just all of our towels. Luckily our house is on a bit of a slant, and so the water went away from everything in the closet. On the other hand, it was our only bathroom and so we have been staying at our friends house in Kamiah. We are so thankful for them and for the great friends that they are! Thanks Brandaan & Melissa!!
