underwater

Tuesday night as soon as I walked in the house I heard the sound of running water, at first I thought maybe Jake had left the sink on after he washed his hands, but no, the noise was coming from the basement. As soon as I steped down the last step I stepped in to 4 inches of water! After a few frantic phone calls I was able to turn the water off, the hot water heater was spouting water. What a mess is an understatment. The dry out has begun but it's not pretty so much stuff is ruined. The poor dogs were looked in their cages in the basement freaking out standing in freezing cold water. The floors have all ready been removed and bags of tons have been hauled away. This is going to be along process. Trying to look at the positive that we will get to redo the basement. Last week the air conditonder. Lets hope things do not happen in 3s.
