A Long Week

 

Last Friday morning I spray basted Winter Blues in our driveway. I really don't enjoy spray basting, but since I'm planning on quilting this with my embroidery module for my machine, it had to be done.

 

Later that day...Daughter 2 graduated with her MBA from Auburn, achieved over the last 2 years while working full time. She has been BUSY! Unfortunately, Hubby had miss all this fun.

We found out mid day (from our lake neighbors) that water was pouring out of our lake home. Not good.

Hubby rushed there (it's about an hour away) with one of our son-in-laws. They shut the water off at the street, and surveyed the damage. There was a broken something in a pipe or fitting under the kitchen sink. The kitchen, dining, and living rooms were flooded. Ugh. We just remodeled this home a few years ago, as you may remember.

Long story made short....used a wet vac to remove the standing water. Set up fans and dehumidifiers. Serv Pro is now helping, or at least they will be soon. We know the hardwood floors will have to be replaced. Most likely the lower kitchen cabinets will have to be replaced also. We are hoping the subfloors can be saved. There is already mold growing in the crawl space - Serv Pro will take care of this. Luckily the furniture is fine, except for the living room rug. We have lost a few things stored in the crawl space. 

It could have been much worse. All bedrooms are fine. Once the mold is gone we could still stay there overnight, but there will be no kitchen for quite some time. 

Our view is still fantastic. So for now it will be day trips, but that's okay. It's life. Life happens.

So quilting....we've been so busy going back and forth to the lake to work...absolutely nothing has happing quilting-wise since I basted the quilt! I'll get back at it soon, I'm sure.

Continue to stay safe!
