I woke up around 6:30 to feed Abilynn. Molly was acting like she had to go potty. Sometimes I tell her to go back to bed but this morning I decided to let her out. I get to the back door and let her out and see water streaming out of a hole in the ground along with lots of water on the cement. I immediately run into the bedroom and tell JP. He bolts out of bed and asks if the basement flooded. I look back outside and the window well to the bathroom window is full of water. Yes, the basement flooded, again!
It flooded about 11 months ago. Right after I had the good ultrasound and was put on strict precautions. My brother Joseph was phoned then and came to our rescue. It was also found at about 7 at night. Since I was not pregnant this time, no one had to be phoned. The basement really never recovered from the first flood and then this one happened.
The flood was a lot worse this time! We will not be able to save the carpet pad but even worse JP is not sure the carpet itself will survive. Just what I wanted, a basement makeover when we have no money to do it!
The culprit... sprinkler pipes. I HATE sprinklers!!!!!!! I told JP if this is his way to get me motivated to look at other houses and move, it is a TERRIBLE way of doing it! This is what my basement looks like now...
The family room
The bedroom.. that window is where the water came in last flood
