Life has given us quite a few lemons lately...........
Like this broken pipe.
See the dime size hole in the bottom?????? Well that little hole, not caused by us in any way, led to many messes. The first of which was after Kennedy, Kaden, and Cris all took showers. When Cris got out he was greeted by a squishy linoleum floor, and some very wet carpet in my room and Kennedy's. This was at 10 o'clock at night. What to do????? We called the plumber who was just at our house a few days earlier to come see what the problems was. they proceeded to cut a lovely hole in Kennedy's newly textured and painted room. Then they turned to me and said, " Do you have insurance????" So I then called the insurance company. Who in turn called and sent out a fire/water damage restoration company. We were told they would be at our house around 7p.m. to asses the damage. 7 rolled around and they were not here, and we soon get a call that says,"Our truck broke down and we won't be to your house until 9p.m." So we were thinking it wouldn't be to bad, and put all the kids down for bed in Kaden's room. The clean up guys get here and start tearing my house into pieces!!!! They worked until the wee hours of 2a.m.!!!! I was so tired and grumpy the next day, and to top it all off they had so many fans, humidifiers, and filters running that we couldn't sleep in our room.
This is what we are left with after they got all the cleanup done, and all the equipment out of our house.
Don't ya just love the retro red carpet. Notice how half of it and the sheet rock is gone. They tore it all out in our room and some in Kennedy's.
And look at our lovely bathroom.
They left us nothing except the toilet.
You Make Lemonade.......
So now with all those lemons we got, we get to make lemonade. Or A.K.A. We get a new master bathroom, and carpet in our room, and Kennedy's. And to top it all off we got enough insurance money to re-carpet the whole house and put in hard wood down the hall and in the computer room!!!!
I guess some good will come out of having a 6 member family use 1 very small bathroom for the next month or so.........
