So, You Know What's Fun?

Coming home to find that water has seeped up into your basement through the floor.

Not exactly what we had planned for last night, but we did get it cleaned up and there wasn't too much damage (except for an old poster that I loved). I think most things, including K's drum kit, were spared, so it could have been worse. There was, however, a momentary panic when we saw that water was all around the kit - wood (like the bass drum) absorbs water and can warp, although I think we got it before anything bad happened. But it still annoyed the crap out of me. Thank goodness we have so many towels - all of which went straight into the washing machine with lots of soap and lots of hot water after soaking up what Special K and I referred to as "floor mung".

Happy Friday - it's going to be a great weekend!!

I didn't know you had a basement!

Speaking as one who just had a 4-day water heater leak fixed.... um, yeah, towels can get NASTY.

Ugh, that sucks.

Another advtange of renting though... water damage is only your problem to the extent that it damages your stuff. :P
