The Flood!

Spencer went downstairs to put on his shoes and head to work on May 23rd at about 6:00 AM. He steps off the last stair downstairs and suddenly realizes that he is standing on a piece of WATER SOAKED carpet. Oh no! He walks into the storage room and there is about 1 and a half inches of water. Maybe it wasn’t as dramatic as Noah and the flood, but we definitely could have done without it. Our basement flooded, luckily it wasn’t too bad though, and we continue to learn about the joys of home ownership!

Flooded under the stairs. Brutal!

Melina sucking up water

The water stayed mostly under the stairs and in the downstairs bathroom. We sucked it up as best we could (from 6:30 am to 11:30 am, ugh!), placed a bunch of fans all over, then went up to Spencer parent’s cabin for the weekend. We had to get out of that mess in our basement. While at the cabin, Spencer shot a beautiful 79 on the Mountain course at Wasatch Golf Course. The ladies went shopping and bought a ton of clothes. It was like Christmas! That was Memorial Weekend!
