Flash Flood Floats Thompson

Approximately two weeks prior to fall opening in late August, a summer storm dumped a few inches of rain in Newark in such a short time that it flooded out the basement of the building. As it happens, the carpeting in the hallway floors was replaced during the summer but the two basement lounges were not replaced. It turns out this was good timing so we took the opportunity to replace the wet and damaged lounge carpeting just before the new residents arrived with carpet tiles that were available on short notice from our vendor.  Here is the study side, without the TV, at the East end of the basement.
