UGH..... there is NEVER a good time for bad things to happen, such as your basement flooding. But it seems that it's worse when there is other things going on. We came home last night after being out of town since Thursday evening. My Beautiful sister in law just got married in Denver, CO and we went to help celebrate. Bachelorette/bachelor parties thursday night, wedding rehersal friday evening and the BIG even all day Saturday and clean up and drive home Sunday.
Anyway back to the reason for todays blog. It was storming rather well as we were driving home once home we started to un pack and such. noticing the all the water in the yard we started to look around to make sure things were ok when my HD starting yell to me from the basement................
Our basement had started to flood the window well in our workout room was over half full of water and the water was just seeping in through the window. He starts yelling for buckets so he can bail the water out, I am trying to run around the house trying to find the buckets. But my injury last month isn't alowing me to move very fast. As he starts to bail the water out i go down and start picking up things off the floor. I took a trash can and started gatering the water off the window sill and dumping it. Once we wer able to get the water to stop coming into the house we were in a little shock. I decided to go to the store and get a wet vac so we can suck the water up out of the carpet (hope it's not ruined). It took us about 4 hours to get it up and it's still wet. I was able to find some one to come out to take a look at it today.
In all of this i am greatful i know it sounds weird but i am greatful because it could have been much worse. Other families across the country have lost their houses to flooding yet our house is still standing. Much more water could have come in and damaged much more than our carpets, if it came in the other basement bedroom it would have hit alot of eletrical cords and our computer. I am thankful that we came home when we did, we almost went to a Rockies game in denver that whould have made us get home much later. Thank you God for looking out for us this weekend.
I hope this link works I heard this song on K-love while i was driving to sears to get our wet vac
