Kitchen flood ....

We had a pipe under our kitchen sink come undone

and it gushed and spewed HOT water

Lucky for us it happened while we were home

I cannot imagine the damage had we not been there

as our kitchen and part of the dining room flooded

in just minutes!!

Johnny was trying so hard to turn the water off under the sink

but the water was so hot he couldn't get under there

he ran to the garage and turned the hot water heater

off and that shut down the water.

but at that point, water was everywhere

We grabbed every towel we had to sop up the water

what a mess

and I really feel bad even complaining because it

is NOTHING compared to what people

in Texas and Florida are dealing with

Our insurance was great and sent the company out
right away to dry out our kitchen
we had 14 fans and a big dehumidifier in our
kitchen for 4 days. Man oh man, it was LOUD
and the fans are on non-stop

the dogs were very confused by all of this

and by the end of the 4 days, they were ok standing

around them and letting the air blow on them....haha

We are very lucky to have great homeowners insurance

that will cover everything, except the $500 deductible.

so now we have to have our kitchen, dining room, back hallway,
and half bathroom floors sanded, stained and 3 coats of poly
They also have to replace all of the kick plates
on the kitchen cabinets. And the cabinet that the kitchen
sink is in has to be replaced. I pray the granite does not
get messed up when they slide that cabinet out

oh boy, a week with no kitchen = no fun

later.....
