up to our ears in sewer..





Not quite that much, but Monday night our sewer flooded our basement. What a ness, I bailed atleast 4-5 buckets of water. It seeped into all the surrounding rooms. We called the insurance and waited until morning. Service Master came in the morning, they have been wonderful.. they cut a 5 foot strip of carpet all along my family room and any where else there is carpet. They wore those little blue suits, and they they lectured me on bailing the water and walking in it. They tore all the baseboards and moulding. Luckily our insurance has a clause because most insurance don't cover sewage damage(something to check) but ours does up to $10,000. We have to carpet every inch of basement again and replace moulding and furniture. This was not what I was planning to do this month. Because that means we have to take everything out and we also need to finish Megs room to move her into it. The girls are sleeping upstairs because we have so many fans going that it is noisy, it sounds like they might fly away. So back to the fun...
