On Friday, I woke up to the sound of dripping. I thought maybe I hadn't turned one of the faucets off completely or something innocuous like that. So, I checked the bathroom. No drip. I checked the kitchen. No drip. Wait. I can hear a drip, but it's coming from the...oh no. The basement. Where all of my electronic equipment is. My home theater. My network equipment. It turns out that the tube that delivered water to my the ice maker in my fridge had come unattached and was leaking all over. The floor was soaked and a couple boxes were sitting in the puddle. The water had flowed under the wall and part of the carpet in the main part of the basement was sopping wet. Luckily it didn't reach any electrical equipment or my LoveSac. The insurance company sent a "disaster mitigation team" over. They lifted the carpet and cut out the wet padding, then they put down air movers and a dehumidifier to dry out the carpet and drywall. So, I had these machines buzzing all weekend drying out the basement. By Monday everything was bone dry. Today I came home to a clean carpet. Tomorrow they reinstall padding and re-stretch the carpet. By this time tomorrow, the basement will be as good as new. Maybe this will give me the motivation to finish the basement -- and maybe re-pipe my house when I remodel the kitchen.
