Can we get a break already??? FLOOD!

WeYll......after the leak in our driveway was fixed (or so we thought)....Shane and I set out to get some things finished in the house. When Shane was walking down to get Rylan from the bus.....he noticed that the water was STILL leaking. So.....he followed it up and decided to check out the basement. Guess what......it was under 2+ feet of water!! WHAT?! Can't we catch a break here??
Luckily our insurance will fully cover it IF it is a break in our pipes under the house. We just have to pay our 1000.00 deductible. We will also receive a settlement for our damaged possessions. Man oh man. Shand and all the boys AND grandma AND me went into the basement to sort through items, bag them.....or burn em.
It resulted in this massive bon fire at our home. See photos below!

After we finished burning the damaged items......we started in on items that needed to "go" from other areas. The below photo is of a chair that we had for years. It went up like it had gasoline on it. Very scary. It really hit home, how quickly a fire can spread in our homes. We had a local woman that lost her husband and 4 sons just a few days ago to a fire. So tragic.

We were able to rent a sump pump at Bainbridge Rentals, just as they were closing and I am happy to report that as of now, most of the water is gone. Tomorrow we have a dumpster going to finish getting rid of all the damaged items and an insurance agent meeting us tomorrow afternoon. Life is never dull in this house.......ever.

Myron took the below photo. It was wet and needed to go. ....so sad.
That is all for tonight...........I pray!!
