The Flood of 2010

And this is what it looked like when I walked into the house at 10PM, an hour after getting a frantic phone call from my neighbor, four hours after water started seeping through the wall and into his house.
And this was where it was coming from. Faulty connection between the water filter and the hose.

And this is what the floor looked like when the sopping wet carpet and padding was removed. Yep, that's sand. From YEARS of tracking it into the house.

And that is what it looked like after we cleared everything out, laid down baking soda, and decided that we're redoing it with laminate flooring. If anything, should make it a better selling point for the house.

And THAT is what the end result was. Luckily, we got huge fans in there to dry out the walls, cabinets, etc. All in all, we escaped with minor injuries. I have to thank our parents for watching the boys for the last four days while we deal with the house being completely upside down.
Hopefully I can post on Wednesday night some pictures of our new floor.
And then someone can put an offer on this place...
