So we woke up the other day to the sound of rushing water....
A pipe had burst in a storage room in our finished basement. The water quickly filled the entire 800sq ft basement 4-6 inches deep... I am not exaggerating... Everything in the storage room, as well as anything on the floor or on a low shelf is destroyed... 2 computers, a classic Nintendo system, 2 couches, an entertainment center... I can go on and on...
The sheetrock has to be replaced up to 3 ft up, the tile floor will be coming up... I can go on and on...
The basement was my fortress of solitude... Many of the books I read and the notebooks I keep are just ruined... It sucks Bad....
For their part, the insurance company has been great... They already have a pod storage unit on order, so we can start tearing the basement apart..... The appaiser estimated a $25,000 claim when it's all over...
This really makes me feel for people in Louisiana that had 12 ft of water in their houses... I couldn't take that shit... I would just walk away.... Having to go through 6 inches of waterlogged stuff is too much....
