If you hadn't already heard Dana and I came home from a long weekend at the cottage to quite a big surprise! It was late Sunday (Fathers Day) we had a fantastic day and stopped for a Fathers Day dinner with my family. It was pretty late when we finally drove into the driveway. We all piled out and each grabbed a piece of luggage from the trunk and headed for the front door. As Dana unlocked the door Dylan rushed in and before we stepped in we heard "Dad...did someone leave the water running?...I hear water running" My first thought was he was hearing the sound of the toilet running or something....nope....no such luck! We headed towards the sound of rushing water....*hearts pounding...praying that it wasn't what we were imagining* ....it was worse. Our entire ceiling in our kitchen was laying on the kitchen floor. We stood there for a second trying to soak in (pardon the pun) what we were seeing. We snapped to reality and realized water is still gushing so upstairs Dana ran to find where this was coming from. A tubing that connects from the water pipe to the toilet had sprung loose and was spraying water everywhere, like an out of control water hose. After, we surveyed the damage and noticed that water had saturated the upstairs...down the stairway....onto the living room ceiling...the dining room.... basement...and the worst of all the kitchen! So here I am tonight sitting here with the sounds of industrial strength dehumidifiers roaring and about 8 turbo charged fans... I feel like I am in a wind tunnel! We have been told nothing in the kitchen is salvageable and we are waiting to see if the wood floors will be able to be saved. The bathroom Dana has been working on for months is totaled. While we are glad to get a new kitchen the prospect of the upcoming months of restoration is daunting. Keep us in your prayers!
