So we were in Qulin and Polar Bluff, MO over Memorial weekend. When we came home on Memorial Day we found water in our basement. Apparently there had been a bad storm Sunday night. So we got to clean up our basement.
Here is a view from the laundry room side. This shows how far it came in and how much there was. Luckily this side didn't have carpet, so we only had to worry about the other side.
Here is Matt working hard at cleaning up as much water as he can.
Then when we were pulling up the carpet to dry out the floor better, we found mold on the carpet. That's when we decided to just chuck all the carpet.
We stripped the floor and moved all the furniture to one side. I bleached, washed and dry vacuumed the floor as well.
Then we painted the floor with that epoxy stuff that goes in garages.
Finally we bought a couple of big area rugs @ Walmart so we had some comfort.
And we placed all the furniture back, but in a different layout...now we have 2 sections.
