Water Leak Causes Temporary Closing

On Friday Jan 22 early in the morning a sprinkler head broke in the rear ceiling of the shop.  Water gushed thru the ceiling in the back room and flooded the entire floor...front and back.  It was flowing out the front door onto High Street.  We reacted as quickly as we discovered it--not knowing the time it really happened--and started sweeping and mopping up water.  Fortunately many things are elevated on risers, and shelving...etc so little to no merchandise suffered damage in the 1/4 to 1/2 in of water that covered the floors.  Rugs were soaked...and taken immediately to professionals for analysis and cleaning--the outcome to be yet determined.  Because the floor in the showroom is a floating laminate floor, it all had to be taken up for drying purposes.  For 3 or so days  many fans and dehumidifiers ran to dry things out.  The bathroom had to be completely gutted.  We await the insurance decision about our new flooring and the timing.  We certainly hope to be open before the February Gallery Hop.  This has been such a shock to both T. David Collection and SAMSON, who shares the space.  We appreciate your continued support....and hope to be up and running ASAP.  We are so thankful for the slower time of year and the fact that we suffered little personal damage through this ordeal.  Don't forget about us!!!
