Okay, Okay ..... No, we didn't get stranded without food and shelter for a week from a Category 5 hurricane. But, we did have an odd past 24 hours here at our new digs. Last night, we looked forward to a quiet night and day off today after 12 hours at work. It didn't work out that way....
It started when we noticed a watery glaze on the driveway (it's been below freezing for a month here). In the darkness, we unlocked the door, and on our first step in - SPLASH !!! I got the lights on, and noticed that half of my apartment was underwater - and the busted water pipe from the cold was right behind the wall. Luckily, most of the valuables (my guitars, clothes, and my autographed Joe Wilson photo) were on the high end of the apartment. Still, there was no water, and the carpet was soaked...
It was a nice team effort there. My landlord's whole family came down to vacuum up, move my stuff, and get it fixed later that night. They even offered to put me up in a hotel, but Carol and Joe gladly had me over. No, it's not 100% back to normal yet: the carpet padding is still a bit wet, and will have to be replaced probably. Also, my stuff is all pushed to one side until it's fixed. But, it could have been a lot worse. It's snowing ANOTHER foot tonight, so commuting to work in the AM is more of a concern right now. We'll live... This post is brought to you by ServPro..
