Citizenship and Flood

 I became Canadian in June 2007.

That month was also the month our basement flooded.

Everything was new when we bought the house, less than 2 years before so it wasn't much different after the renovations. The doors and the stairs were more fancy and the shelves I had painted white became a desk.

A real nightmare as far as insurance went. We had to pay everything in advance and it took over a year to get it all done...
