TweetI heard a loud pop and my son yell. I jumped up and ran in his room. Never thought to grab my pistol. His aquarium pump exploded. So we have been rushing to try to get the water up to save the wood floor in his room.

We got to it ASAP with the wet/dry vac. still got between the planks and the underlayment.

Floor is ....ed. Cheap floor looked pretty good. Started to swell up and split. Took a break.

My son is upset. His fish are in a bucket.

I almost cracked a brew to help me deal with this shit.

Man I was so close to being done with this house so I could rest before spring when I build my fence. NOPE! there goes $400 worth of floor materials and 10 hours of my time.

Just go down tearing out the floor. That laminate was all we could afford when we installed it. It looks good still for being cheap stuff. I may just do carpet in his room. We have carpet in our bed room.
