Well....I was planning to go to Disney for MNSSHP this October but I arrived home from work on Tuesday to a flooded basement. The carpets were soaked. It was awful as I didn't know how to shut off the water as the water continued to pour out of the hot water heater. Fortunately the water authority and a neighbor came to my rescue. The amount of water in the basement looked as though it had been going all night. At first it appeared to be contained on one side of the basement. We had to rip out the carpet from a bedroom and large walk-in closet due to water damage and then empty the storage area in order to replace the hot water heater. The other side of the basement was fine so we move most of the bedroom stuff into the other bedroom for storage purposes....or so I thought.
On Wednesday, I dropped by my home to pick up my IPOD for a dentist appointment. It was in the basement on the other side also known as the dry side but as I entered the bedroom my feet went swoosh swish! Yep...more water damage. It appears that the water filter in the basement kitchen didn't appreciate the needed work necessary for the new hot water heater and it exploded sometime during the evening damaging the other bedroom as well as the kitchen and bathroom.
Yes...I have insurance but we still have to pay the deductible. They also depreciate the value of what I have to replace due to damage. After replacing the hot water heater at the tune of $800+ and the other expenses ..it just appears to be impossible to go to WDW again this year:( I am so bummed right now. I also don't look forward to all the work involved with moving all of the stuff out of the basement and then moving it back! I know things could be worse and I am thankful that we have insurance and all that but still I am a bit disappointed.:(
