It was torrential rain and thunderstorms yesterday from about 4pm. We first noticed water flooding in the kitchen from the sliding door, so we got towels to soak it up.
It wasn't until I went downstairs to hoover that I noticed it was flooded in the office area, we had to hurry to get everything that was lying on the floor out of the water, the kids photographs in their boxes were soaked along with some more paperwork.
The amount of water was unbelievable, it was under the wooden flooring and under the freezer.
We never even thought about counting the bucket loads of water it filled.
It also washed some of our gravel from the garden onto the street.
Just when we thought we had got it cleared up, Scott went out to the cabana this morning to find it had also been flooded! 😞😢
The water had been sitting on the roof and slowly dripping in, the ceiling is a complete right off, it will have to be renewed.
The palm tree canvas prints are soaking and water stained.
My pretty pictures are damaged, although, Scott has promised to take me to The Beverly Hills Hotel one day and said that when we are sitting there we will look back on this and laugh 😜🙏, I will hold him to that! 🙋😛
He had to take off some of the ceiling to see where the water was getting in from.
It filled 6 buckets full of water, not including what had already flooded the floor!
That was certainly an eventful start to the New Year!!
