'Flood house' gives close-up of water damage
Diane Hopp says she doesn’t have a green
thumb, so if her neighbors were around, they might be surprised to see her
spraying a garden hose - particularly in December inside the living room
of a newly renovated home.
“It really bothers me to see all this mess, and that we did it,” she said.
The insurance agent from Petersburg was one in a line of hose-wielders helping christen the small, frame structure on the edge of downtown Springfield - fondly nicknamed “flood house” - as part of an unusual experiment to assist the untold thousands who bemoan indoor flooding from the showers of spring and the burst pipes of winter.
