Another flood! AARGH!

Today was not so great. Our house flooded again. And it happened the night before we leave for New York for 5 days - of course. (Thank goodness it didn't flood tomorrow while we are gone!) For those of you keeping track, this is our 2nd flood in 2 years. It flooded everything that the first flood didn't - including the theater room this time.

The culprit was the small kitchen sink - it was one of the ONLY TWO LINES not replaced in the first flood with braided steel - you can see from the picture why. The shut off valve is UNDER THE CABINET. If I ever find the guy who plumbed our house, I will cut off his nose.

As I write, I smell wet hickory and drywall and there are men in the house ripping out the basement ceiling and carpet. Sloane is asleep, blissfully unaware. Guess we get new carpet and our hardwood redone again!!
