Flood Flood Flood

Well our wonderful basement flooded back in May sorry I am trying to get up dated on here. Brad came home to an inch and a half of water every where in our basement like at 9pm I got a call to come home from work. When Brad pulled up he heard a bubbling sound and he thought what the crap is that and when he went around the corner of the house he saw water over

flowing and bubbling over. He ran over turned the water off and grabbed a bucket and tried to scoop has much water out has he could. Brad was shocked that the window did not brake. We worked to hard to save our basement. We later found out that a neighbor boy put our hose down the down stairs back window and turned on the water and just walked away. I wanted to wring that kids neck I was so upset. Brad and the inspector said that it looks like the water was running for a at least 4hrs if not longer. The bad thing was that all of our bedrooms are down stairs and we had so

move EVERYTHING up and out.We had like 8 shop vacs going. Thanks to our parent, Riley, Sia, Suzanne and Will for coming to our rescue and helping us when we needed help. So we all camped out in one room for like a month and it was so much fun sleeping all in one room. We are just lucky that the kids where small enough that we were able to do that. A lot of things got damaged and ruined and we where able to replace some of the things. We were able to get better carpet down the stairs and in all three rooms and we got the boys bunk beds and everything to go with it. So that was a plus. I think it made us stronger to go through this flood together and we all stayed in good spirits to. Yes it was stressful at first but it all ended well. I am just glad it was not a fire or anything worse.
