Ooops

So, Thursday morning after seeing Cut Copy at the Scala, Emma and I got up as usual. Emma tried to have a shower but no water as they were digging up the road to replace the water main. No worries, I have a shower at work after the ride in.

Working away on my project when I get an email from Matt saying “The fire brigade just called me, the flat is flooded”… erm, excuse me? So rode home to see what was going on and this is what I find when I walk in…..

Could do with a spring clean

Ahh, erm. Well that’s the ceiling you can see on the floor. The water had come back on and jerked the shower head up, spraying it all over the floor for five hours.

The damage? Apart from the obvious lack of ceiling the list goes as follows, MacBook dead, two printers, airport extreme basestation, aiport express, sofa, table, chair, A3 printer, multifunction HP printer scanner thing, an external drive, 28″ TV, DVD player and surround sound box, speakers, hifi separates and lots of other bits and bobs.

No electricity in the flat for now and spent a few days mopping up and wiping down the dust and gunk. Got a dehumidfyer in there for now and hoping to go home tomorrow. Thank god for M+S insurance!
