String of Bad Luck!

SatyrDog · 06-22-2009, 09:55 AM

Hey.
Ever since I moved back to the East coast I can't seem to catch a break. While in Arizona I never seemed to see rain, now I can't seem to see the sun. All this rain caused my basement to flood. Woot! Lucky me, a finished basement with brand new carpet.....totally soaked!

Then driving to work this morning, some sort of flying metal plate takes a huge chunk out of my front driver side door. Anybody with suggestions for a good body shop that could help me fix the gash? It's about 3mm deep and 5 inches long, and 4mm wide. I'm in the Rockville area.

Rajiv,

that totally sucks. Trust me, I have lived here for long time but this year the rain has been notorious. This is not usual. I am sorry to hear about the flood in your basement. That must be very annoying. As for the paint, i would suggest Wagonwerks in Jefferson Davis hwy, VA. They are good but a bit pricey. I am sure you want your car to be brand new, so might want to check them out.

Sending some good luck ur way bro.

Sorry to hear it man! Hopefully that cloud is removed form over your head soon, eh? GL

Called VOB, will take my car there this evening for a true estimate. They certainly seem to like to quote on the high side. $2500...wow...

Thanks for well wishes....I will take it....haha, I know I need it. I'll call Wagonwerks too, Thanks Raja. I tried calling Jason a few times when I need my short shifter fixed, but never could get a hold of him.

You are not alone on the basement. I was using a half bath for some extra storage. I had pergo flooring down throughout the basement. The bolt and washer that holds the tank on the toilet started a slow drip that I never noticed until the seams on the pergo were bubbling up and when I walked on the floor water would come up through the seams.

What a waste of $ and stupidity on my part in the choice of flooring (about 8 years ago). Ceramic tile going down in the near future.
