Many Thanks!

Well it has been a few weeks since we flooded, and even though things don't look like progress is being made it is. The studs are still drying out, the bathroom is gutted, and all the furniture is out. So now we just have to wait for it to totally dry out before we can re-build. Mold freaks me out, so we are being very careful about re-building, we don't want to take any chances of growing mold. Anyway, I wanted to say a huge THANKS to everyone for all the help with---pumping out water, digging trenches, washing clothes, dinners, cleaning, loaning us pumps, moving furniture, and all the kind words and support. The list goes on and on, and the people are uncountable! We have had help from so many friends, family and even strangers. Even though it was a very hard time for us, it was beautiful to see the out pour of people who wanted to help. We are so blessed to live in such a great place! So thank you all for everything!

A little too much rain!

We were at a family reunion a couple weeks ago and came home to a flooded basement! We had a little under a foot of standing water in our basement. Needless to say, everything was ruined. There is a family room, two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and a food storage room down there. We couldn't believe it, it was quite shocking to see your house look like that. We were hit by some major monsoon storms that week, we flooded 3 times during that time. We have had to rip out all the carpet and dry wall up two feet, throw away a bunch of stuff and bleach everything so we don't grow mold. It's been fun:) And to top it all off, insurance wont pay for a thing! Gotta love it!
