Media Room's Makeover

As we know, not every measure works when trying to keep a basement dry. It doesn't help when your cleaning staff flushes rags down the toilet - keeping check valves open during a flood. So we've decided, as a result of July's lower level water damage (due to 8" of rain that day) to tile and heat the basement floor. We chose a plank tile, in subtle gray tones, that nicely compliment the dark olive walls - keeping it cozy, airy and light. We'll accent with area rugs to complete the look. This way, if and when more water does find its way into our home, we'll be able to quickly clean it up! Which hopefully won't happen now that our cleaning staff no longer dumps water into the toilets.

Today, they started the tile work. Looking good so far! I'm sure Dennis will be happy to have his space back. We will too.
