Adventures on the house

I have been having adventures on the house. Oh my goodness!!!

Several months ago I had all of my floors replaced with wood flooring. It had been a long time since the flooring was done.

Schumann Falls - A couple of weeks ago I came home and heard a hissing sound and the bathroom was full of spray! The water was shooting up the wall. It was too much for me to get in there to shut off the valve. I had to locate the valve at the street to turn off the water there...by then the damage had been done. Lorene and Alaine came over and we all swabbed up as much water as we could. Alaine sent out the alarm to the rest of the family. Ken was on his way to look at the plumbing problem, Donna and Jack came with their shop vac to try to soak up the water from the carpets.

When the insurance company came to dry everything out it turned out it had saturated the sub-flooring in the bathroom, entire kitchen and eating area, part of the living room, and two bedrooms. What a mess!!!!!

As we were cleaning up and getting estimate I looked around and came to realize I had better put on a new roof as well.

Lots going on around here to get all of this fixed up!!! I wish it was as easy to get my old body fixed back up....

The following Wednesday or Thursday I went to the dance and told my dancing partner about getting flooded out. The word spread throughout the dance about my flooding story.

I really came to appreciate my family for all of their help in getting things straightened out. In this case blood really did turn out to be thicker than water...Thanks everyone. Thank you all of the help you have been.
