We signed our lives away on our house loan on Monday, 31 Jan, and then had to wait 24 hours for it to be recorded. We were finally able to occupy the house on 1 Feb. That night, the temperature went below freezing, which is unusual for Yuma. Our indoor thermostat said 67 when we went to bed, so we didn't think anything of it--it was warmer than we kept our thermostat set in Logan during the night.
The next morning, Kevin took a cold shower before work, realizing that the water heater had not been turned on yet, but he fixed that problem. Then he went off to teach his classes. Around 10:30, April and the children heard water start running in the ceiling above the laundry room. And you know the rest of the story from our mass email. The low spot was over the school/hobby room, but the laundry area flooded as well through the light fixtures.
Here are the promised photos of that memorable day, plus the repairs:
The room had been full of boxes and furniture and as you can see, we were able to get a lot of it outside before the ceiling collapsed. We ended up getting the ceiling above the laundry/pantry area replaced as well because it got so wet and warped. And we are most pleased with Tom Lemmon Drywall's repairs. If you ever need drywall work done in Yuma, they are the ones to hire.
Good as new, almost 3 weeks later
