Good Morning All

What a day we had yesterday.  The builders started rebuilding the entrance to our complex, and, guess what, they split a water pipe which flooded down into the garage area.As our car and storeroom are at the same end as the entrance, our storeroom got the water.  Luckily, we got there in time to stop major damage but we spent about an hour brushing the water to the grids.  The water people were out within the hour to repair and put the water back on.  So all OK now.
