So on a not so cold night, a pipe in my garage burst which happened to flood a portion of my basement. My fault though, I forgot to shut off the water to the outside so yeah this one is all on me. The storage/furnace room had probably around 3mm of water on the concrete floor and soaked everything touching the ground.

Maggie and I took the day off work to clean up and short the crap out. At 9AM we went to Home Depot and picked up a RIDGID 45L Wet/Dry vacuum and it worked very well. I guesstimate that there was around 65L of water on the floor as it was almost one and a half vacs full of water. Sigh now it’s smelly in my basement, gotta get all this wet cardboard out before it starts getting moldy.

LOL funny side note, in the storage area you have to crouch and I kept hitting my head on the beams so I took off all the crap off my Ops-core helmet and wore it. 🙂 Saved my head from many other bumps, a bit later I also put on my Alta knee pads… I told Maggie “See dual use!” though she didn’t seem impressed for some reason.
