- Wed Dec 17, 2008 1:56 am #84117 Damn guys i was in the middle of resareching and responding to classiccarsrule's post about relays, when my wife who was downstairs called me down. I asked her what she wanted before i budged cause i was balls deep in the service manual, and she replyed "Get down here now!". I moved with the quickness to find our entire first floor to be almost completly filled with water up to about an inch or so. Plus the water was just tumbling out of our pantry. So i quick scrambled to make a make shift dam with towels and blankets only after running outside to shut the water off. Damn. So far 2 360s are totally ruined, about 6 boxes of comics (holding about 200 in each) got soaked about half way from the tidal wave from our water heater, including the box of dvds (about 150 or so books and covers totally ruined)and the couch is sopping wet. thank god we have tile and no carpet down there. The entire 50 gals of water including what ever tryed to fill back up emptied out like a friggen tsunami. Worst part is before it actually let loose my entire pantry was engulfed. My head hurts and i slipped on the tile running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Plus to top it off im soaking wet, with no water running in the house, And to put the cherry on top i have no chronic. And i havent even had din din yet. lol I swear if i had hair i wouldve ripped it all out by now. oh yea and no i dont have a wet vac. Betcha the wife will let me get one now!

- Wed Dec 17, 2008 6:43 am #84155 that sucks man I was passed out in my friends basement one time and my hand like dropped off the couch. I thought it fell into a glass or something so I stand up and I'm up to my ankles in water. I spent to whole day pulling carpet and going through boxes.

Race cars are like boats I guess. Time to bust out another thousand.

The morning sunset is no match for my smile.

- Thu Dec 18, 2008 3:06 am #84346 When I lived in miami, and Hurricane Katrina dumped a shitload of rain on our house. I watched my front lawn become a little 3 foot island, and everything was floating around in my backyard, and the water was up above my sliding glass door (luckily it was pretty thick and water resistant). it looked so scary.

- Thu Dec 18, 2008 3:35 am #84353 yea the cleanup was the worst. we had to use the carpet cleaner to suck up as mugh water as possible. Plus dumping the filled up container ever other minute got me soaked, not to mention it was raining outside. ahhh man plus i didnt get to take a shower till the next morning. I HATE going to bed dirty let alone being 100% soaked. probably shouldnt have used ALL of the towels lol! oh well its all done and finished now. no major major damage though thank god.
