Water, Water, Everywhere

The Floods of 'O8 have done quite the number on many Iowans' homes and businesses. While Josh and I have been lucky that our house hasn't had nearly any damage compared to others, we're sad to report that our basement did not go completely untouched by the heavy rainfall. We endured a large puddle in the lowest corner of the basement and as a result, our plan to remodel the basement has been expedited. We tore up the rest of the carpet and because of some lovely mold that began to grow on the walls by the stairs, Josh tore down that section this weekend. So this is what being a homeowner is all about, huh? Sweet.

No more mold, just a nice view of the structural integrity of our house.
