ugg. Doug got home at 11:30 last night from work and ran down stairs to check on something. I then suddenly hear him yell "Nick". I rush down stairs to encounter a lake. Ugg. Only about 1/2 a foot of water but still. There is a positive to this scenario(I always try to find the positive), it is not sewer water. It is all clear. So we go up and call the landlord. He is not the least bit angry. He knows we usually fix issues ourselves or call him at a convient time for supplies and fix things. He says we are his favorite tenants and the owners too. lol
He says it is a burst pipe somewhere in the walls. So Doug had to phone in to work this morning so that he can be here to help move furniture when the carpet guy gets here. And the plumber will be here too at some point today hopefully. Because our water is shut off right now. We know that it was fine down there on the afternoon of Thursday because Doug had gone down to get something from the freezer and would have easily seen then if there was an issue. So it happened sometime that night or yesterday. We don't go down there every day. Luckily we do not have a lot of stuff down there and what we do have after drying out will be ok. If it had been sewer water then all of it would have had to be chucked. See there is a silver lining. lol
