The battle against Mother Nature

So Monday night it poured again, at least all of our stuff had been cleared out and moved to higher ground b/c the water came pouring back UP into our basement. Another 12 inches. I went to work late so I could be on sump pump watch and then Steve got off work early to start the clean up AGAIN.
I packed some bags and Presley and I headed to my mom's for the night while Steve prepared for the third night of storms and rain. He was prepared this time, 3 pumps, 2 dehumidifires and 2 large fans. He was up most of the night waiting for the water to come and when it did he was ready for 'battle'! :) and he did great! He was able to keep the pumps going to keep up with the water coming in and he contained it to only one room!
We started our bleaching fun last night, Steve got his future 'man-room' all clean (since that is the room furthest from the drain!) and hopefully we can get the other rooms under control this weekend, get our house back to normal and get some answers with our insurance and functionality of our furnace and hot water heater.
Tonight I'm going to try out our washer and dryer to see if they are still in working order, keep your fingers crossed that something works!
