Flooded!

The weather has been warming up quite fast.  That did not bode well for the preschool.  We walked into a down pour...inside the building.  Saturday night I went to the school to get something.  I found a drip over the computer area, and the ceiling had collapsed over the computers.  We moved the computers and put a bucket under the drip and left.  Sunday after church I went back to check on the leak and the whole building was flooded.  2 inches of standing water covered the floor from the front of the building to the back.  And the ceiling had collapsed over the computers again!  There was no way we were going to be able to get all the water out and the ceiling repaired by Monday for school.

We ended up having much more damage and time away from school than we thought.  The dry wall had to be torn down.  The ceiling completely done away with.  And the carpet torn out and replaced.  We closed school for the entire month of March.  The end of March started Spring Break so we decided to open back up immediately after break was over.  Luckily our parents were supportive and stayed with us over the closure.

On the bright side.  We got new carpet, new walls, new flooring up front and in the bathroom, and the computers still worked!
