So for the past few weeks I have been installing my kitchen (I have been buying bits and pieces over the past few years)
So this was it, not too long ago
and how it has been coming along (take notice of my pretty new faucet)
still not quite finished… I wake up this morning to my sister SLAMMING on my door yelling for me! “MANDY MANDY!!! TURN OFF THE WATER!!!! MANDY!!!!!” I spring out of bed and RUN to the kitchen thinking another pipe burst (since during the install of the base cabinets we had cracked some old pipes, but it was a somewhat easy fix) I find the faucet which is GUSHING water OVERFLOWING my sink and collecting ALL OVER THE FLOOR and apparently running down into her house below me!
All my new cabinets are bloated from all the water, and my floor is discolored because the water was practically BOILING! I turned off the water and ran down to her apartment which was completely FLOODED!!! like 2 inches of water in her kitchen, her ceiling falling down and splatting on the floor! I feel SO HORRIBLE!!! The sink would have just drained normally had I taken the sink strainer and plug out before I went to bed. I washed dishes lastnight before bed and just left the strainer in the drain. If I only took it out, it wouldn’t have plugged up and overflowed.
My floor
My swollen cabinets
and my sisters house now after we got the water stopped and cleaned
Not to mention we are still dealing with Irene. Our house came out unscathed, but my sister’s boyfriends work van was not so lucky
Now I have to replace her ceiling and he has to fix his truck AND install this >_< I feel like a complete.... I don't even know.... I just feel AWFUL!!!!

And your poor sister’s ceiling is a mess. Do either (or both) of you have insurance to help repair/replace any of the damage? At least you have pictures of your newly remodeled kitchen, so that would certainly help.
I am so sorry drag0n that really really bites. I am glad the storm didn’t add any more damage to your home though.
Wow, what’s the expression… If it weren’t for bad luck, you’d have no luck at all!
I’m so sorry to hear this drag0n, I can’t even begin to imagine how you must be feeling 🙁
Dude! I know right!? What did I DO?????!!! My truck breaks down, I get my package stolen, I accidentally destroy my sister’s house >_< Gah!!!!

Dreamscape, Orion, Poison Dart, Fireberry, Spangler + Tigerberry DragonsOh man, that just… SUCKS. I hope insurance or something will cover this! They were such nice looking reno’s too….. >.<
OMG! That bites! Well, possible good news (you’ll have to wait and see) is the cabinets, once they dry out, might be ok. Some will damage and that’s that, but they might be ok.
Boy, when it rains, it pours! *no pun intended, but yeah, it does fit* :
:O :((
Words fail me… I’m so sorry!

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmOh, I’m so sorry!! What a mess! I do hope you have insurance that covers this kind of catastrophe!!!All that and a hurricane too!!!Hey, please don’t beat yourself up about this! You are doing the best you can and these things happen to everyone one time or another that isn’t living in a closet!! Just think of all the people that you are providing an opportunity for feeling good about being able to help you! And all the warm and fuzzy thoughts that are coming your way through the forum! Yeah, it’s hard to think that way when you are in the middle of it, but it’s still there! So cry hard, get it out of your system, and believe that somehow, somewhere, there is some reason for all this, and maybe you’ll find out what it is and maybe not, it doesn’t matter as much as keeping your head up(above the water, so to speak!Heh!) However, we are all cheering for you!!
Drag0n, that just flat out sucks! 🙁
Hope things start to work out. I’ll have to send some good ju-ju your way. HUGS, girl!
LOL! Thanks guys ^_^
