Our Flooding Adventure

So, we had quite the adventure today. Right before we left for church, Jason discovered that the window in my bead room was leaking, BAD! I am talking POURING out of the window audibly. It sucked. We put a towel in the window, and it was still dripping out. There's a metal well behind the window, and since it was so much warmer lately, and it's been raining, there was quite a lot of water. So, we had to move all of the beads away from the wall. As shown here.
Lots of beads, right? Yeah. I have a problem. Anyways, we used all of our towels trying to soak up water, and then started the dishtowels. About a third of the room was so wet it crunched when you walked on it, after all the towel soaking.
After the dish towels, we did the towels again. Jason had to run the towels to the laundromat to dry them, and it seems that everyone does laundry on Sundays, because there were only two dryers available. Ay, ay, ay. No fun. Luckily, Heather and Jason lent us a heater so we can attempt to dry it out after a few days. I just hope it works! Here is the window that started it all.

Wow, that totally sucks. I am happy you caught it though before it ruined all of your things.

Oh, son of a... I have memories of leaks in the basement. It never really smelled the same. Some advice...get more towels.
