You know what happens when a toilet just keep pumping water? BIG water damage! Someone flushed the toilet in Robin's room, and it overflowed, apparently for several hours. If the light hadn't been left on and Larry hadn't gone to turn it off and discovered the problem, we'd have had an even bigger mess! He found himself standing in a lake of water, and not only was it wet in the bathroom, but it had gone into the bedroom, and flowed through the walls to the other 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, plus the hall. When Enviro-Serve came over, they declared the bathroom walls and even one of Bree's bedroom walls to be wet. They ripped out the carpet and all the baseboards and brought over about 20 blowers and humidity suckers (or whatever they're called!) to dry out everything. That first night was AWFUL--it was hot, noisy and like being in a wind tunnel!
Here's the floor after some mopping up....
3 blowers and one humidity sucker just in our lavatory area!
The blowers are now gone, but the bedrooms are concrete flooring, Larry and the workmen are painting, and furniture and STUFF is everywhere! Since Bree's room is COMPLETELY empty, that furniture is stored in every available nook and cranny. It's a bit of an obstacle course. We'll be glad when things are more normal again!
Bree's empty bedroom with blowers still in it
Robin's bedroom with stuff piled on the bed!
My sweet cousin Laurie flew here to help pick out carpet, paint and flooring. It was great to have her here. Have to get as much done as possible this week because our 2nd grandbaby is due NEXT SATURDAY! Can't wait!
