You were lucky.  I wandered downstairs mid-morning to get some coffee  
only to find the back room sodden with sewage.  Drain blocked below  
and bolted manhole cover not watertight.  Furniture evicted pronto,  
carpet & underlay hauled into garden to rot, drain rodded with the  
help of our noble builder and we're now into fumigate and de-humidify  
mode.  And to think I woke up this morning wondering whether the  
water systems on the boat had survived the freeze.  Still, it  
prompted me to renew the house insurance.
