Unrelaxing Long Weekend

This is not the kind of van you want to see parked in front of your house at anytime! Saturday night we had a flood from our ensuite toilet this time. We didn't hear the water splashing out of the basement light fixture until it had been running for a good 15-20 minutes. The water did a ton of damage in our bedroom, closet, ensuite, main bathroom, Nathan's bedroom, basement, and basement bathroom. Ceilings, walls, carpet and flooring all wet and damaged.
At this point they are drying things out with fans and dehumidifiers. Our house is VERY noisy and the bedrooms muggy. They will come back Tuesday morning to assess what can be fixed and what needs replacing.

Of course perspective is a good thing and we are thankful we have insurance (even though there's a steep deductible) and that none of our possession were ruined. We will get past this but it wasn't exactly how we would have liked to spend our long weekend at all!

Oh NOOO! I'm so sorry! We had a flood in our apartment kitchen last year, and it was such a pain!

Yes, still thankful for insurance and (although very inconvenient) shelter...

That is very nasty. But like you said...perspective is everything! I'm glad it wasn't any worse!
