Flooding in Saskatoon!

Howdy all, Greetings from Toon Town!

As per Usha’s request I thought I would do a small write up on my basement flooding.
It happened after one day of incessant raining. That was all it took. We had water in the basement and the whole floor was out of commission: walls seeping with water, carpets drenched and a stink up from the drain-flow sewage.

I don’t have as dramatic a story as Usha does. But after two months of work rebuilding about two feet of our walls, laying carpets, painting walls and doors, our basement is back to normal just in time for visitors. Some of you may know this visitor. Arul’s brother who is also known as Arul to his friends is coming with his family for a one week stay and all we have to do now is dust, vacuum the carpet, rearrange furniture and restore paintings to their rightful places on the walls, etc, etc. This is all easier said than done considering I have only two more days and we are all at work full time. Good luck to me!

Hi Maha, thax, its just one knows what all we don't have to deal with at another place..
the things you went through our next door neighbours had.. thats why we got worried and decided to empty the sump.. than wait and see if we will get floods.

anyway made one feel humble as to what we have is a blessings compared to others who lost lot of their homes, lives
.....
