Feeling Water-Logged

Scott had quite an adventure today with the installation of our town's now mandatory water meters. The company the town had hired to perform this task made a fatal error in cutting the 'live' water pipe from the 'town' side not the one on the house side that we have access to and can easily shut off. So needless to say, a half hour later and the town shut off valve finally found and dug up, thank goodness there isn't anymore snow & the ground has thawed. And all this in our newly remodelled guest room inside the house. Yikes!!!

I can just imagine the expletives coming from the mouth of the unfortunate fellow who made the wrong choice in which pipe to cut. And Scott was not impressed with the two hours of clean up work to move all the furniture and stuff out of that room.

So we are now in the middle of insurance company/restoration company contacts and dealing with a flooded, soggy basement room. Not a fun way to start the weekend. But we will manage! Thank goodness for insurance and the advise of great family members in the insurance business! You're the best, 'Cuz! I am sure that I will keep you updated on this fiasco as it is just the beginning. And good job to you, Scott for keeping your cool and getting as much done as you could while I was at work. You are the best, Sweetie!
