On Sunday morning we were getting ready to go to Chris and Tysen's twin boys blessing but our sprinker system had something else in mind for us that day! Sean went downstairs and heard water rushing and his worst nightmare came to life! One of our sprinker pipes had blown a cap and we had a wall of water shooting out of it which was flooding our basement! We just bought our home a few months ago and we were in the process of trying to find the hidden water shut off valve when the snow hit and covered our lawn, needless to say we did not find it in time! We had to call the emergency water number which was not open (not a great 24 hour emergency number) and they called dispatch to help us shut off the water. By the time we were able to shut off the water the fire department was already on it's way! When the fire truck showed up Ty was in heaven! The firemen were so nice, they picked him up took him for a personal tour of the fire engine! His sunday adventure was Sean's worst nightmare!

NO WAY!!! That is quite the adventure! I'm glad Ty had fun:)
I remember that happening at my parents house wayyy too much. Definately no fun. Did you get it all cleaned up? That sucks bigtime
Wow, that is no fun. Atleast Ty got something good out of it right? Way to make the most of a bad situation.
How's your basement?
