So. We're living in a hotel. It's good, it's bad, it's....interesting.
The gist of it:
We were out front w/ the neighbors, when one of them asked, "What's that green sludge coming out of the side of your house?" Huh....what IS that green sludge coming out of our house???
Come to find out we had a leak in a water line. A rep from our builder came to check it out. He found the leak at about floor level behind our oven and lower cabinets in the kitchen. Apparently, it had been leaking for a long time. There was a lot of mold....ew. The water had been leaking under our floor, in our crawl space, and in the wall -- a lot of work needs to be done.
Luckily, our home is still covered under a 10 year warranty and our builder is still in business. They are covering the costs to demolish and rebuild, plus reimbursing us for lodging and food while we are relocated. A HUGE blessing.
The Plan:
1) We relocate for approx. one MONTH
2) Dow Columbia removes the mold/water damage
3) Everything dries out for a week and a half
4) A Health Company comes to check it out
5) Our builder rebuilds the kitchen - new floor, cabinets, oven, counter, etc.
Pics coming soon...once I remember to pick up my camera cord from the house.
I'm so glad its covered under warranty! I hope the next month goes by really really fast for you guys!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! that is Crazy. I am glad to hear a warranty actually covers something! I can't wait to see the new kitchen and no cooking for a month...maybe mold isn't so bad :) j/k hope you survive life in a hotel.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks! I am so glad you are covered though. And living out of a box isn't too bad. . . you get use to it.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow Kristen!!! That is awful!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that it's covered though. I hope that things go smoothly and that you are back in your newly fixed home in a month!!
Good luck!
Sorry you have to deal with that, but so glad it's covered. Let us know of the hotel adventures!
ReplyDeleteThat is crazy! I'm glad you found out about it now! I'm sure you will post some great hotel stories ;) It sounds fun for maybe a week but I bet you will be excited to move back in to a NEW kitchen (how fun!)

Oh no - as life can't get any worse - I am so glad that it is under warranty - what HUGE blessing is right!
ReplyDeleteYou are just a great Mom and Wife to roll with the punches - I think I would have bought the next plane ticket out to my parents house and lived with them for a month.
