I hope all works out quickly for you.
Lol.. Yea I know the feeling. He said that last night to remind me he had said he was glad the water heater was in the basement- not the main area of the house. At least with a washer, you can shut off the water- but a water heater will drain.
I have literally throw away an entire large trash can ( you know- the big black ones!) of stuff. One of my giclees got ruined- but they can print another one. The carpet also in the 4th bathroom with the whirlpool is ruined as well.. Oh well- it was going to be tile anyway one of these days.. Jeez!
