Bring On The Rain

At first, the rain was a welcome relief from the sweltering summer heat.  Until a giant puddle starting spreading out from the bookshelf and desk where our computer is (and all those cords and powerstrip that sit on the floor next to it.)

Yes, our apartment flooded a little last week. We are very lucky though to have been home when it was flooding and we were able to save everything from getting damaged.   We probably got at least 10 gallons of water off the floor which was a little crazy.  Our landlord and super sent a plumber over the next morning and apparently, that crazy storm a few weeks ago must have done something to block a drainage pipe, so water was being re-directed where it shouldn't.

Thankfully, we have wood floors so it was relatively easy to clean everything up.  And apparently they are pretty un-level because it was just in the one area that we got any flooding.  This was a moment where we were REALLY happy we are just renting :)
