Basement Flood.... Twice :(

 October 7th, the back basement guest room flooded

A sprinkler head broke.

A $3 part turned into a $17K project.






So we decided to paint the entire basement,  recarpeted the bedrooms, all the stairs in our house, and decided to do a LVP (luxury vinyl plank) in the basement.  

October 25th, While getting all the furniture out of the basement, Aaron managed to split his eyebrow open.  He was carrying a table outside with the boys and didn't see a post.  The table hit the post making it come to a stop, but Aaron kept walking.  Luckily, Steve Granger was willing to meet us up at Aaron's office to sew him up.

Back to the Flood....

The LVP was a nightmare.  The installers didn't level anything so the baseboards didn't look right.  In fact, they looked terrible.  So we got to hire Courtney Lindoff to come and fix the baseboard and repaint the rooms that got wrecked by the flooring crew. 


We still aren't thrilled with the LVP but at this point, we are done with living in dust and chaos.





November 9th, after everything got installed, furniture back in the rooms and everything decorated...
We had a massive cold front and it froze our front hose spigot.  The spigot was gushing water for several hours before we saw it.  The front flower mound filled up with water and our basement guest room flooded again 


Update: Dec 18 - We still don't have the trim for the basement fireplace or the bullnose for the upstairs (cry).  some day I hope to be done with this project!
