Our basement flooded Monday night. Grandma and Grandpa B, bless their hearts, came over today in the heat and humidity and helped get the carpet out. We all agreed it wasn't worth saving.
The kids thought it was fun and exciting at the time, although Lily kept asking why we had to throw it away and if we would get new carpet and could she please watch another movie on the computer upstairs.
The word is still out on whether the couch is salvageable. We got the fan running down there trying to dry it and the bookshelves out. This is one of those times I'm glad we don't have expensive furniture.
The water made it over into the other side of the basement, but in God's kindness it did not ruin Eric's guitar. At this point, that side stinks worse than the family room side. I'm not sure if it's the carpet in there or the baskets of wet items waiting to be washed.
