Well... I was in NYC this weekend and I came home Monday (yesterday) only to find that my basement had FLOODED! AHHH!!!
That definitely took the home improvement project a little off course as it involved carpet removal, damage control, and water removal!! There is hope though! See below for pictures! That will put a damper on things... no pun intended ;) It will take some time for it to dry out. Then we have to do some recovery including replacing some dry wall, and adding tiles, but then I get to paint! YAH!
What we lost and gained:
Lost One Couch
Gained more space
Lost Lots of Carpet
Gained new tile that will be put in (which means I get to buy or find a fun rug for the basement hangout)
Lost a few paintings (thankfully I was getting rid of them, just bummed I couldn't give them away or sell them)
Gained the use of using my own photographs and art on the wall! Time to bust out the paint or camera!
BIggest Gain: The chance to clean, paint, and design/decorate a hangout for when my friends (or my brothers) come over!
Here's a video after the carpet was out... "still so much water!"
Please excuse the sound... it is the luxurious sound of blowers to air out the basement!
