The Flood

The day after Christmas Rob and I took a couple of presents back to the house and the pipes were frozen. Well we didn't think much of it and headed back to SG. After we got back to town we thought we should of shut the water off. We called our friends back in Panaca to go check the house, and at about 11:30 pm we got a call that the pipes had broke and the house was flooded. So Rob and I headed for Panaca to see the damage. The living room ceiling had fallen, the wood floor warped, carpets soaked, and as you can imagine it was a mess. We cleaned up the best we could and headed back to SG, climbing in bed at about 4 am. Our friends that own the house did a great job of cleaning it up and repairing everything while the kids and I stayed in SG. We are almost back to normal, just a couple missing baseboards and a little more painting and everything will be finished. What an experiance and one I hope never to have again.
