What a MESS!!!

So yesterday morning my youngest son comes upstairs while I am in a deep sleep and says... "Mom there is water pouring down out of the ceiling onto your computer". NOT a good sign! After having several neighbors come over to help me move desks, computers etc then we called a plumber to come out. He had to replace a pipe! Now I am sitting here at my kitchen table on my computer. This picture below is now what my ceiling looks like right above where my desk and computer used to be. It's amazing all the damage one little pipe breaking can cause! Thanks to my son I am set up to be able to use my computer at the kitchen table for now until we get my house in order. We have fans blowing and hope to soon be able to start replacing sheet rock etc. What a MESS!!

    Oh NO! That is awful. I think water messes are the WORST! We had a minor flood in our basement clean-out drain (from the kitchen) a few weeks ago. It was NOT fun. Good luck!

    That is horrible! Broken water pipes and backed up sewers have got to be the messiest ordeals.

    It's great that your computer is OK.

    A little bit of water can cause so much damage!!!!! We dealt with that last year. It all turned out well. Thank goodness for homeowners insurance!

    There is nothing worse than water damage to deal with. Well, there is, but it seems the worst. lol.
    I had a pipe in the attic attached to the swamp cooler break and the water came pouring down from the ceiling. I said who puts a swamp cooler pipe in the attic? I'd never seen that before.
    You are lucky that your computer is still working after all that.I hope you are able to get it all repaired soon.
