yes, it rained a lot overnight. yes, the soil was already saturated from melted snow. but most importantly, the sump pump was not yet installed.
the plumber had injured his back the day before.
so maybe some yards of fabric got wet, as well as a couple of diplomas (but who really needs those anyway?)...
our main concern was our artwork. sadly, the one piece we were most worried about got soaked on the full length of its side. we're praying it will dry well enough that no one will notice it once sat in a puddle overnight.
the chairs? all have survived unscathed.
OH NO!!! At least the chairs are safe....
ReplyDeleteReminds me of when my law partner Dave finished his basement. Had lived there for years with no problems. Wouldn't you know the week after the carpet was installed there was a small flood?
Despite this "excitement" the progress in the house is great to watch!
oh i'm so sorry! you must have been sick. damned plumber's back...
ReplyDeleteOh no!! I know a guy who can get you a diploma from anywhere you want-need a replacement? :)
