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 This is so hard! I am very glad that there is so much love surrounding your sweet family, though. Summer will never want anyone to leave!
-
@NorcalGma2 Good grief, that's horrible. I hope your daughter has the added insurance for a sewer backup. I had a broken pipe in my house while I was gone for two days. $70k in damages.
@elaterite @NorcalGma2 what horror stories.
More than a leaking roof and a wet spot on the ceiling fortunately never happened here (patching roof and painting ceiling and ✓ I guess about € 2500 but not covered) -

@NorcalGma2 That’s a grim thing for your daughter to deal with, but she’s lucky to have you to take care of her and the family. I’m sure Summer will take care of everyone with a great deal of aplomb!

@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. -

Are the cats staying with you, too?

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.

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...
