    An unexpected turn of events.
    My daughter's house which is a Victorian in the oldest part of town sits at the lowest point on her block. The city she lives in has never prioritized the maintenance of sewer water and other infrastructure systems.
    Late yesterday the city sewer backed up into their house. Even though the city fixed the clog the damage is done.
    There will be hazmat cleaning, floors to replace and updated plumbing to install that would keep this from happening again.
    So late last night we pulled out cots, blankets and pillows and had a slumber party here at our house.
    Summer has so many humans to comfort. This is right up her alley.
    Good thing we have enough house to accommodate.
    It will all work out.
    For the right now Summer and I have six extra places to set for breakfast.
    Good morning, Mastodon.

    @NorcalGma2 oh no! What a nightmare. And what a great solution y’all have devised.

    I will say, though, that when I saw the dog and read the first sentence, I thought this was going to be a post about the loss of a canine. Phew.

        @NorcalGma2 @lisamelton As it happens, my sister has a similar problem, with water coming out of a wall due to a damaged pipe somewhere 😩 Luckily, there’s people and dogs coming to the rescue 💪🏻

            @NorcalGma2 Oh yuck. What a (literal) mess. Hoping for all the damage to be repaired as soon as possible.

                The good news is that the city took responsibility for the mess and is sending in a hazmat cleaning service today. After they disinfect they will set up giant dehumidifiers. They also agreed to replace the floor and drywall. My daughter will need to pay the plumber to install a one-way valve. Lots of disruption but the expense will be manageable. One more night, at least, at our house.
                Scrambled eggs, muffins and strawberry yogurt protein powder banana smoothies for breakfast was the healthy breakfast to get us all ready for a busy day.
                Summer says we've got this under control.

                  @NorcalGma2 This is good news indeed and I hope it all turns around quickly so your daughter can get back to normal as soon as possible. I’m fairly sure that breakfast will help you all tackle what needs doing today; it sounds perfect.

                      Are the cats staying with you, too?

                            @NorcalGma2 People taking responsibility, what a nice concept. We definitely need more of that! 🙃 That and lovely, smart dogs saving the day 😊

                              That's wonderful news! I'm so happy that organizing and paying for all that doesn't fall to your daughter.

                              It will still be a trial and a tribulation, but it could definitely be worse.

                              Breakfast sounds delicious and nutritious, and like a great start to the day.

                                An unexpected turn of events.
                                My daughter's house which is a Victorian in the oldest part of town sits at the lowest point on her block. The city she lives in has never prioritized the maintenance of sewer water and other infrastructure systems.
                                Late yesterday the city sewer backed up into their house. Even though the city fixed the clog the damage is done.
                                There will be hazmat cleaning, floors to replace and updated plumbing to install that would keep this from happening again.
                                So late last night we pulled out cots, blankets and pillows and had a slumber party here at our house.
                                Summer has so many humans to comfort. This is right up her alley.
                                Good thing we have enough house to accommodate.
                                It will all work out.
                                For the right now Summer and I have six extra places to set for breakfast.
                                Good morning, Mastodon.

                                @NorcalGma2 Ow, that's way, way beyond unpleasant! So glad you and your family could handle it in such a positive way. Hoping for the best outcome for you all 🙂

                                  The good news is that the city took responsibility for the mess and is sending in a hazmat cleaning service today. After they disinfect they will set up giant dehumidifiers. They also agreed to replace the floor and drywall. My daughter will need to pay the plumber to install a one-way valve. Lots of disruption but the expense will be manageable. One more night, at least, at our house.
                                  Scrambled eggs, muffins and strawberry yogurt protein powder banana smoothies for breakfast was the healthy breakfast to get us all ready for a busy day.
                                  Summer says we've got this under control.

                                  Wow! I'm so glad the city is going to cover that!

                                    Ow no! That's awful... 😔 I hope everything van get fixed soon and properly. Until then, I'm sure that Summer will do her best to comfort everyone properly (and get all the cuddles she deserves 💜). Much luck 🍀 to your daughter with the cleaning up and all...

                                      @NorcalGma2 oh I'm so glad it's mostly paid for, that's got to be a relief!
