New basement carpet

We woke up around 1:30 am on Tuesday night because our power went out from one of the major storms.  We've never lost power for more than a few minutes before but this night it was out for 5 hours!  We went downstairs to unplug and move some furniture and our carpet was already wet after just half an hour.  We didn't know what else to do besides wait for the power to come back on.  Finally, at 6:30 Wednesday morning it came back on.  Needless to say our basement was completely soaked!  The water only came from the sump pump so at least we didn't have it in our windows or from the drain.  Our furniture is fine.  The carpet is the only thing that was ruined.  Luckily, Tony had some great help getting the furniture moved, carpet and pad out and drying the basement floor.  We thought about trying to save the carpet but ended up deciding just to replace it.  So our insurance company is sending us a check for new carpet :)  What a mess!
