My bathroom flooded last night.. and not just a little, oh no, it flooded in grand fashion. 2 inches of standing water, a carpet and pad and wood soaked through. Quite the mess. Thankfully, I have people to call. Friends at church had a shop vac that they let me borrow which got up about 15 gallons of water. I'd already soaked up about 5 gallons with towels (and then wrung them out into a 2 gallon bucket that we emptied about 3 times). I ripped up the soaked pad and used the tiny fans overnight. Now, I'm borrowing big fans and trying to dry the carpet out. It's propped up on every stool I have, with the fans blowing underneath. I'll have to replace the pad and get the carpet re-strectched and most likely cleaned, but such are the joys of home ownership.
