Fucking grand. I wake up cuz it sounds like one of the aquariums is low on water, you know that trickling noise they make. So i go to check it out. Nope it's water flowing in the basement window. The gutters had clogged up lastnight as we slept. Now I am going to have towait till someplace opens to rent a shop vack or a rug docktor. Something to get the water out!
Here are some pics.

I feel for ya man! One of the worst feelings I've ever had was stepping into about 8 inches of water in my family room when my crawl space flooded (I live in a tri-level). Fortunately all of my stored figures were in Rubbermaid containers. The only real loss (figurewise) was all the packaging for my Techno Spawns.

I did lose photos, all my yearbooks and some artwork. Some books took water damage but I was able to save them to a degree. Oh yeah, I lost all of my vinyl record collection.

Maybe your Hong Kong express will come a bit early and cheer you up! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear that. Having something happen to your house is just one of the worst feelings.

Thanks guys (and gals), I went up to the grocery store first thing today and got a Rug Doctor (shop vac thingy) and have been sucking water out of the carpet. So far I have remove 6.8 gallons of water and it looks like I may have started to make a dent!

None of my toys were in harms way but all my electronics are a bit damp. No Tv, no music. My PC is on the far side of the room and seems to bee ok. I hate this time of year in missouri, its one natural disaster after another. Now that I have a break from the carpets I need to go unclog the gutters!

FUN DAY OFF!!!!! [img]eek.gif[/img]
