Oh shit

Oh shit. Is what I said multiple times yesterday as well as a lot of other words. Our basement flooded.  Like waterfall flooded.  We already had a little leak but when they installed the window they had stone around the well.  The next step was to pour concrete on top of the stone.  Well it did not happen in time for the monsoon that came through last night.  Our driveway also slopes out to the road.  So imagine the 4 inches of rain that should have been draining towards the road now had this porous well to funnel all of the water. So where did the water go?  Into our basement.  Literally it looked like a waterfall.  

To make the situation more challenging, jace was screaming at the top of the stairs and would not come down. Abby was in her diaper on my hip. So in the pouring rain with Abby I was covering the window well.  

So it appears this issue, will need major work.  $$$$$.  Waiting to see how our contractor handles this.  Not saying it is his fault but we never had a leak before they did demo. I do feel like we need to fix some outstanding issues from the house but he caused some too!  Hoping he partners with us.  I have to give him credit because when I called him pretty panicked he came over right away with pumps and supplies to help.  Hope he partners with us on this one.  We are already past what we planned to spend and things keep adding up!

Happy birthday to me.  I told jay we should have just bought an RV.
