I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to explain: woke up @ 4:30 a.m. last wednesday to the sounds of what I thought was rain (since I live in florida its common). It got louder, I got up checkd my bathroom and heard it from the sewing room. Switched the light on and there was at least an inch of water everywhere. I called the fire dept. they knocked on the upstairs neighbor's door and upon entry found that the owner had left the bathtub running with clothes in it (don't they believe in washing machines?) all night long. She was very apologetic and remorseful and luckily she had homeowner's insurance but I had none. But all will be covered the ceiling, dehumidifier and loss of everything in that room. Quilting is my livelihood since my divorce so this really hurt me. All I could do was stand there and cry and mop for 3 hours. Since then the plaster has come off and fallen some. I am waiting for the insurance adjuster today.
