Free flowing water!
Our basement flooded today. A pipe broken, water from the dishwasher sprayed all over the floor/couch/stuff/ and more stuff. Many frantic calls later, it's fixed :)
The Ten Things I Hate About A Basement Flood...
- Not knowing what to do!
- Trying to get a hold of people. Hearing the sound of the free flowing liquid black hole gushing closer to you whilst ringing everyone!
- Knowing help is coming, but you have done everything you can think of. Now with all the adrenaline flowing you get all crazy like!
- Looking at the destruction a little water can accomplish.
- Noticing all the wet shit, wondering what's salvageable and what just goes to the dump.
- Realizing there is a lot of work to come.
- Rewashing clean laundry, as the laundry baskets were on the floor. Clothes washed, dried, and folded. Ugh. And again.
- Finding a pair of shoes to wade through the open waters below.
- Remembering it's hump day, slightly curious if any more humping this day will happen.
- The work involved. It's definitely the work behind such a mess. Double ugh.
Deep breathing, a long sigh...

Tough luck you.
Been through that twice. Our house was built by the FHA(Federal Housing Authority) when I was a kid. There was a crack running down one of the basement walls from top to floor. Spring brought flooding. Gotta love those government homes! Then there was the fire. By the time the FD got through, the basement was flooded. Again! Ah, hell! At least the roof didn't leak! LOL BTW, my room was... you guessed it... in the basement!
