Monday morning floods

No, not tears, an actual flood!

Monday morning at Chatsworth Way dawned to a flood of almost biblical proportions (well, about 10 inches anyway) in our basement. Heavy rain and problems with drainage in the past have caused floods before, but never so deep.



This flood, however, was not weather related or, indeed, an act of God. A hosepipe had been left out over the weekend and someone, who shall remain fully nameless, turned it on and left it.

We have lost a fair amount of equipment, supplies and some paper archives although we will need to wait a few days for the water to fully drain before the full extent of damage can be properly assessed.


Some wet things

Ah, Mondays.
