I feel lower than the lowliest sewer rat right now. All the water has drained out of my basement, but what's left behind is enough to make anybody vomit. Now I have to sort through all my belongings that were downstairs and figure out what's worth keeping and what needs replacing. Oh, and I also need to get a hepatitis shot.

Price City says I need to get a contractor out here immediately and get a damage estimate, then get everything fixed. All the flooring and sheetrock is damaged, so my entire basement will have to be gutted and rebuilt. So I guess when this thing is all over, I'll be better off than before, but I don't know that it will have been worth it.
