The Big Flood!

Now that a few weeks has passed and I have recovered a little bit, I can blog about our flood. Here's the short version of the story. I was at basketball with the girls and Donevan was home with DJ, Emma and some friends watching the Michigan/Ohio State game. Donevan came upstairs and changed DJ's diaper. Donevan then started back downstairs. DJ wasn't behind him, but when Donevan called his name a few seconds later, he came running. Well little did Donevan know, DJ had run into our master bathroom and turned on the tub. They went downstairs and continued watching football. A while later, (45 mins or so) Donevan heard water running. He heard it coming from Ashleigh's room in the basement. He went in there to find water rushing down from the chandalier and soaking her room. He ran upstairs to find the tub running, the bathroom, bedroom and closet all flooded. Yikes! Our 8 day old basement was flooded. Ashleigh's entire ceiling's sheetrock had to be removed replaced and new insulation put in. The room is being repainted and we have to replace all the carpet and pad. The upstairs dried after having a major renovation company come with their power fans and humidifiers. We were devastated, but we are just happy DJ didn't get hurt and that's why we have homeowners insurance. Gotta love a 20 month old! He's keeping me on my toes.
