It's been a crazy week here! We woke up Monday morning with about an inch of water in our basement...Yikes! That's where I have my studio and classroom, not to mention all of the other stuff one stores down the basement. It turned out a water pipe in our front yard broke and when the basement pump pit filled up, it overflowed. Doug and I have been working our tails off all week to take care of this mess. Looking at the positive, we were home, we were only without water for 24 hours, we had a great plumber who knew how to fix this problem, only a huge hole dug in the front yard and not the whole yard, my daughter and son-in-law live in town so I could stay there Monday night, and we were able to save the carpet in the studio and classroom! All the other carpet remnants in the other part of the basement had to go. A lot of cutting carpet, hauling it to the dump, moving things around to get to it all, running fans, drying things, and putting it all back again. Did I say our backs, arms, legs are pretty sore, and that we are exhausted...yup we are! But, as the saying goes....it could have been worse! I kept thinking of all the people you see on TV that lose everything they own in a flood, and this doesn't compare. We are using it as an opportunity to get rid of a lot of stuff! That makes me think of the George Carlin routine on too much stuff, remember that, LOL!
If you made it this far, I hope your week was good and uneventful!
So sorry to hear of your water problem. I can sympathize...we once had a pipe freeze and burst and flood about half of the first floor of our house. Hoping your cleanup is pretty much completed. Your tile is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour tile is amazing! I love that you kept some areas white!

I hope you have managed your water problem meanwhile.
I am impressed about the way you cope with it ... This is the right way to come through such "incidents" - in the end you are a little bit stronger..
Like your tile. You are handling your situation very well.
ReplyDeleteOh poor you, what a lot of hassle. Thank goodness it was all quickly sorted. Love your W2 tile and choice of tangles.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you had to deal with such a mess. I'm glad it wasn't worse though. You still managed to pull of a really nice tile though :)
ReplyDeleteI do like your tile. My week was sooooooooo quiet compared to yours. But, you are right, if you look at people who loose everything it's just a small thing. But ... nevertheless very annoying.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tile. Sorry about the water damage.
