OMG!!!!

One of my biggest home related fears became reality! I left one week ago for vacation & restoration course, which are planned to last three weeks, and today my neighbor just called to let me know that water is flowing out of my apartment. Being 4000 km apart from home, I had no other option but delegating to friends the burden to check out what is happening and to find a short term solution for the problem until I get back. The view of my apartment was - as far as I understood - depressing, as a pipe of the heating system broke down, and for God knows how long, hot water ran undisturbed into the house, up to the level of 10 cm. I guess the wooden floor has no chance under these circumstances, nor all other things that reach the floor.

After a first moment of panic, I realized that it makes no sense to pull my hair out, so I decided to continue the restoration course, and to deal with the damages in two weeks when I get back home. Also I try to view this unhappy event as a chance to redecorate my home. So please send me your positive thoughts, in order to give me strength to cope in a constructive way with this problem, and to remain calm during my restoration course, which is so important to me. :)
