The Weekend (The Bad)

Sunday was not our best day. It was raining all day in Utah and our tires were a little bald so we were skating for a few miles down the freeway until we stopped for some new ones. Two hours and four new tires later we were finally heading home. Two hours from home we discovered that the road was closed due to a crash. We waited for a little while before deciding to go around rather than wait for the road to open. It added two more hours to the drive but we finally made it home. Yay! or so we thought. Luke was taking Jax inside while I got the mail when I hear a little panicked "Courtnie! Grab Jax!" There is about an inch of standing water in the laundry room and kitchen. Water is pouring from the fridge and its cascading down into the crawl space. Luke turned off the water then we went to work sopping up all the water. Jax was walking around on his toes saying "All wet! All wet!" He thought it was pretty fun to have a swimming pool in the house. We tried the shop vac which didn't work that well then went to towels. 

 The waterfall into the crawl space. There was a couple of inches down there.

 Every towel we own (plus some of the Howell's) went into soaking up the mess. Here's Luke squeezing out the super wet ones.

 Trying to figure out what to do with the crawl space. 

The water is all cleaned up from upstairs, our hot water circulator isn't circulating, and we are still trying to clean up underneath the house. Oh the joys of being a homeowner! Hopefully this week will get much, much better.
