We woke up to this surprise this past week. Just about an inch to 1/2 inch of water in the laundry room and basement guest room. Many cuss words were said and we immediately set to emergency response. My yarn lives in the basement, but it is safe. Thanks the deities!

The sump pump died and chaos ensued. We moved all the items, installed new sump, and did ever so much cleaning. We are probably 18 hours of work in and the carpet is still drying and EVERYTHING smells bad. I did however lose an entire box of my knitting books, including all my yarn harlot books….

For now the silver lining is that plastic totes saved our butts and it gave me a chance to really purge in the storage area. I’m on two loads of donations and I have 5 totes of kids clothes identified as my next project.

I’m really excited to get back to knitting!!
