No more suspense! The 3rd has arrived!

You may have been wondering where I've been -- since it really hasn't been out shopping. Well, let me share with you all.

The FIRST water related fiasco was over at my father-in-law's place with the sprinklers (the tree was just an added bonus).

The SECOND water related fiasco was when my when my basement flooded.

You know how things come in threes? Well, my friends, the suspense is over! The curtain has risen! The present is unwrapped! The new car smell had faded, and the bee has buzzed for the last time. The dish has indeed run away with the spoon! The mice have eaten all the cheese! Last but not least...the Fat Lady is warming up her vocal cords!

The THIRD water related fiasco has arrived! And boy howdy, it's a doozy. We discovered this week there was approx. 6 inches of standing water in the crawl space over at my father-in-law's house. Oh, yeah! It's a freakin' mess. We got the water pumped out today & fans are running. At least we know it hasn't been this way for long & we'll be able to get it aired out -- completely dry! -- and fixed up.

Just a note for you all too -- insurance won't pay for whatever is broken...it will only cover any damage from the water. That isn't much in a crawl space -- thank goodness! -- but that also requires us pay for any and all repairs. We haven't determined what is broken yet as it's just too darn wet under the house. That will most likely be over the weekend.

Urrrghh. Thank goodness things don't come in fours!!! Right?! Any sympathy you guys want to share -- man, please don't hestitate. I'm pretty low right now. Jeez. Freakin'. Louise.

Here's an couple of photos -- the dark gray section above the murky water shows how high it was before we started pumping it out --
