Rain Rain Go Away

It rained and rained last Saturday/Sunday. The snow was melting and water was running down the street

AND

water was running into our basement.

Unfortunately we didn't find the water until Monday. It leaked through the window well in our office. I had just moved everything from the upstairs office to the downstairs office so luckily most everything was in plastic bins. I had to move about 1/2 of the stuff out into the family room. We used the shop-vac and the steam cleaner to suck up the water and turned on some fans.

So, I decided to sort through some of the office stuff today and kneeled down to go through a box. I thought it felt a little cold/damp so I started feeling around. Sure enough!! The floor in the family room was slightly damp. So, when Jeff got home tonight we moved everything from the family room to the play room. We also had to take the entertainment center apart and move it. UGH!! It's been a lot of work.

We're hoping that we got to it in time but if not - it's a good excuse for new carpet!!

Here's a pic of the window. If you look close, you can see the water line at the bottom of the window - about 2 inches high - it's the cloudy looking stuff. Yuck!!
