Drip Drip Drop

What a disaster.  We woke up to a soggy carpet, floating shoes and a giant mess.  We opened the door to see if maybe Provo had been flooded overnight, but found bone dry steps, inspected the ceiling for holes and found nothing....come to find out...our upstairs neighbors had their brother-in-law come fix the loose faucet in their tub (directly above our bathroom/living room).  When he yanked the faucet out of the wall, he cracked the pipe and sealed off the faucet, thereby trapping the water in the wall which ran directly down into our apartment and spread from the bathroom to the living room during the course of the evening.  Long story short:  We traded sunday worship for sunday cleanup and ripped up carpet, tore out sopping wet padding, mopped up the floors, turned on fans, propped up the carpet, climbed over stacked furniture and had a plumber fix the upstairs faucet.  Needless to say, we didn't really have a livable space for a few days so took off for Ogden to spend a couple days with Rod & Vickie.  We look for any excuse to spend time with them, and his time we had a legit excuse!  We played card games, watched movies, ate delicious food, and just had the greatest time.  We are so appreciative of them and their hospitality and can't wait to visit them again, hopefully not because of some disaster!

(We were so stressed and bugged by the situation that I only got one pic of the process :(  It was right after we had mopped up all the water and ripped out the padding.  Just picture all the furniture stacked on the left side of the room, and moments later we had fans, wood beams, big pots...it was such a treat)
