Well, for me and Darrin, 2008 didn't really go out with a bang...it more or less went out with a kersplash. Now, I know what some of you may be thinking...we did not do the polar bear thing. Darrin decided that Monday, December 29th would be a good time to install the dishwasher...he told me that it was going to get done, it was going to get done. He installed it ok, it ran kinda ok. The next day, our water pressure throughout the house just seemed a little low. Darrin went into the basement to double check everything and make sure that the water was turned up completely and that the pipes were flowing ok. He came back upstairs and I had him check the upstairs kitchen faucet...the water was trickling out of the faucet. Darrin was really perplexed at this. He went back to the basement and found that the water was coming in through our stone and sand basement walls. This is photos of the aftermath of it all. I was so panicked while it was happening that I didn't even think to get photos of the water actually coming in through the walls or the 2-3 inches of water that was on the floor.
Darrin had to call the city to get them to turn off the water to the house. December 31, the plummer came to work on the water main so we could get water to the house. Those of you that live in Upstate NY, you know how lovely the weather was that day.....
But even the snow couldn't stop that plummer from doing his job.
