basement flooding
Jul. 21st, 2008 03:30 pmI'm taking a break and having breakfast. When I went into my office in the basement, I was met by tumbled boxes. Then, I heard/felt the squish of water in carpet. And, sure enough, there was water and tumbled boxes in the laundry room too. I sooo don't need this now.
The boxes tumbled because the bottom ones lost structural integrity when they got wet. The boxes are the stuff that went into storage when we had the sewer backup flooding in the basement. I just hadn't gotten around to unpacking them yet. 0_o That'll teach me, I hope.
I also had papers on the floor, so the current project is is hanging papers on wires with clothes pins. It's a lot harder than it sounds.
Thank goodness we have a ShopVac to get the water off the floor and out of the carpet. It's going to be a long job.
