Water, Water Everywhere

Much to our dismay, we woke up to 90% of our basement covered in water this morning. I was sleeping like a baby when David came in and said, "We've got water." Those three words suck to hear. Surprisingly, this is not the first time he's said those words, or that I've heard those words. This incident has occurred probably 5 or 6 times in the 4 years that we have lived here.

A couple of sewer back ups, a torrential rain downpour {with backed up gutters}, and who knows what else has caused us misery. At least this time, it was clean water...thank you God. We know that our sewer line has tons of roots in it and we do our best at keeping up with killing them. Needless to say we've become pretty close to the Roto-Rooter man. : )

This time, however, we think that the city lines got clogged up somehow and pushed the water back into our little basement. So, David's dad was a dear and brought up two heavy duty shop vacs, lots of fans, and then he and David got to work.

Before that, David and I got rid of lots of water logged things and moved everything to the one little side of the basement that was dry. It looks like a tornado hit. : (

Niko isn't scared of the loud vacs and tries to monitor everything David and Dan do, it really is too cute.

I had plans to make it out to Forest Park to play with my camera and stop by my favorite Home Goods Store, but home ownership reared its ugly head and put a kink in my plans!! Boo.

Oh, the joys that come with adulthood...
