I decided to water the garden before work and when I turned on the hose there wasn't much pressure so I went over to turn it up then noticed the second hose on the splitter was turned on. I flipped the switch then went to see where the hose was.....it was in the window sill and had been on all night!!! I grabbed the hand pump and started pumping out the water (you can see the water line on the concrete that I did by hand) then called Todd. He said to call David so I called him and he borrowed a neighbors electric pump and came over. I thought how lucky I was that the window didn't break. However when we got the water out I noticed the window sill paint wasn't looking so good. We walked down there and the basement was totally flooded. UGH! I called Todd back and he called 911 restoration who came over within an hour to get things drying. David, Steve, Eric and I got all the furniture out of the room while we waited. It took a few days for the basement to dry out. Timmy's old room is the worst (all the walls and the carpet were damaged) and half of the playroom. Luckily for us our homeowners insurance covered most of it.
