Oh Snap

The title of this blog could have easily been titled "Oh F***" but I figured half of you would forever be blocked from my site for profane language.


So we were all set to have a fab Great Food Fast night tonight (with a special guest...stay tuned). I raced home only to find Nate shirtless with bike pants on looking FRANTIC. It was quite the sight.

Anyway, long story short a main water line burst or something along those lines and we had loads of water all over in our basement. Good times.


So after many calls to my Dad, some insurance peeps, and Kara (THANK YOU!) for an emergency plumber, we are all set.

The awesome insurance people just left...check out some of the pics below. The camo overall straps are SA-WEET.
Given the frickin sweet ass tile that was under our carpet, we are considering just getting rid of the carpet all together. I mean really...does it get cooler than that? It's like the Amazing Technicolor Dreamfloor.
Happy Tuesday to us.

L.O.V.E. the tile, too. who needs carpet when you got a floor like that!?

Becca said...

Um.
A) the tile is sweet....rock it! It's got that awesome retro...gym/cafeteria floor thing going for it.
B) Suspenders? Check out the ponytail! RRREAUEROUR! (sexy kitty meow sound)
C) Sorry that happened to you guys. At least it was the sewer backed up? Then you would have had no choice but to have called the post "OH SHIT" heh

Nate, get yerself some some blaze orange suspenders (deer season) and hang em long so as to show off your new found plumbers butt, purchase ball valves - not gate valves - some copper pipe, MAP gas - not propane - (MAP gas good, hotter faster) and run some new pipe. What actually broke?

Nothing broke; our interior spicket was loose and needed a new rubber gasket, but it didn't cause the problem. We think some one (hoodlums) came by the house and turned on our water. Stupid Hoods!

Nate you need to consult your father in-law about a shotgun and rock salt. Also ask him about the Amish and tipping cows and corn shocks.

I want a refund. I think this whole thing is just computer generated to avoid having to cook last night.

Debra, stay tuned for a surprise. But seriously, the worst thing we saw last night was not the floor or water, but the plumber butt on Pony Tail guy. I hate to propogate stereotypes but this guy needed like ten more pairs of suspenders, seriously!
