its been a while... i guess it is time to mop the floor....




the other day i woke up to the sound of running water... i figured it was a faucet that was left open...

(the water in our neighborhood is turned off ever day from around 1 or 2pm, until early the next morning to help with water conservation, we have a tinaco on the roof, this saves the water so when the street water is not available, the tinaco is used)


so... i got up to turn the faucet off... i was met downstairs with quite a surprise, i walked right into a flooded downstairs. the sink hose from our 1/2 bathroom downstairs had broken, making water spray everywhere... it was going out the front door, the back door, about 1/2 high around all the walls... i guess our floor is not completely level, lucky for us, and everything that was in the middle of the rooms was ok... as you could imagine, we were not very happy, i dont know who would want to start a day off like this.... yes, i complained a little... something like... "well, i guess it has been too long without another catastrophe happening"... and "why now".... while brent went to buy a mop, since ours was lent out, i turned the tv on... and the news was on, reporting.... "major flooding in china, many people being evacuated from their homes...." i couldnt say another word.... i will take 1/2 inch of water any day.... and the floor was overdue for a good mopping.... have a great day!!!!

I'm sorry about your house flooding! Did you guys have to throw out a lot of stuff? Does insurance cover it?
