Re: Woe is me
I totally feel for you. But dont worry, this weekend is suppose to be very nice, you just need to get all the water out and let everything dry out side. You have alot of work ahead.
I do feel sorry for you. that really sucks and I hope the cleanup isn't too horrible.
But you meant Woe.
My Goodness...another food blog. Featuring: Macarons from a old post with a photo taken by my mom for a break from my crappy food photos!
I'm sorry! Do you have a wet vac and a dehumidifier? If not, you may want to get to Home Depot pronto.
My BIL & SIL had a sump pump that failed and it turmed ot something was blocking the pipe so it wasn't draining properly. 9If I recall correctly, this was several years ago.)
It happend to our house while we were under contract. The ding bats who turned off the power at the breaker failed to leave the breaker on that ran the sub pump. We went to check something at the with our REA and he had to wade through like 8 inches of water to turn it on for us. ( He is the BEST) and the bank that owned it cleaned it all up. So we still bought it.
Ugh, that sucks, I remember when our basement flooded a few years ago, it was AWFUL. I hope nothing valuable was damaged.
But definitely "woe" - you may want to edit your subject line....i thought this post was going to be about horses or something lol.

We have it all, always have had a dehumidifier...the sump pump, a whole basement waterproofing system that failed us. Apparently the floater in the sump pump got stuck. The guy says when it rains, to listen for the sump pump to go off...so basically, I have to turn in to my mother who always worries about the sump pump going off.
we've dried up what we can...but you can still hear water under neath the tiles and laminate floor we laid...that will probably be our biggest damage (other then some about 50 CD's)
