Wetvac saves the day!

Well, I was having breakfast when I hear kevin yelling obscenities and for certain parts of me to get downstairs "NOW!"

low and behold our RO\DI we had hooked up with the little ghetto faucet\spigot fixture was missing and water was squirting across the room onto the wall- oh and did I mention the 2" of water in the kitchen.

No, our cats weren't building their own swimming pool, the kitchen flooded with the pressure of the sink within like 10 minutes when the little thingy that the RO\DI hose hooks into broke. Time to make a more permanant not-breaky fixture for this puppy.

We had a shopvac that can do water from some other hazzard and\or activity that has actually saved the day this morning. I plan to go in when its dry and spritz some bleach water along the seam where molding meets linolium on the floor to stave off any mold (and in that stupid area between the cabinets and the oven).

Looks like I'll be buying some textured spray paint stuff too.

I guess when your home wants some attention it makes you give it to it instead of letting you get around to it

My cat tends to incite the same sort of toweling and shopvacing activity... He managed to flood the dining room twice last night. Groan.

Stupid cat. I think he might have been trying to build a swimming pool.

It probaby was the cats' fault. Really.

OMG, a great creation, that shop vac. Been there many times myself! Hope all cleaned up well.

Thanks So far we're just waiting for everything to dry out and there wasn't too much but the bottom floor stuff in our pantry that had to get tossed out.

If anything it just made us clean the kitchen and it probably needed it anyway.

I just wish it wasn't so humid because I could've opened a window and air dry the house a lot faster. We took our fan from downstairs and have it blowing where we got the carpet wet walking in and out of the mess.

Well, after such a fun weekend I guess all things balance out
