A little over 2 yrs ago our water heater died, flooding our finished basement and ruining the wall-t0-wall carpet in the process.  After having a water damage restoration company come in and deal with the mess, waiting for a check from the insurance company and waiting for new carpeting to be installed, 2 months later we had our basement back.

About a month after that, I was vacuuming the basement and the vacuum caught the seem and tore up a piece of carpet (the dimensions of our basement necessitated 2 sections of carpet and a seam).  As it turns out, the backing on the carpet was defective and Lowe’s replaced all of it at their cost.  The downside was I had to empty the basement (5 bookcases, desk, couch, TV, misc kids toys, etc) for a THIRD time!  The first time was when the initial damage occurred, the second was when the new carpet was installed 2 months later.

Saturday afternoon I had to shampoo a section of the basement carpet.  Apparently at some time while I was gone the fucktard dog decided to piss on the carpet AND Veronica didn’t notice.  When I pointed out the carpet stain to her and asked about it, she had no clue when it might have happened :-/

So I’m already pissed because there’s a carpet stain that should have been noticed before it set in.  Then as I’m working the carpet steam cleaner back and forth over the affected area, the rotating brushes catch the carpet seam and in an instant unravels a section of the carpet, leaving the gap you see below.  I was NOT happy!
