Go rent "The Money Pit" - an 80's movie. We rented it the weekend we bought our first house and it proved to be a prophetic irony on things to come. Watch it and you'll count your blessings.

Strangely enough, I had the exact same thing happen to me when I was a teenager at my parents house. Flooded the entire basement while I was putting a fire out in the backyard that the lawn mower started!

And, if that doesn't have you counting your blessings, remember that the Silvers have two homes that we live in, 120 miles apart, in two different time zones...and we commute back and forth...and have to maintain both!

See, it could be worse.
