Storm damage, ice , flooding , and mold oh my
11 years ago
It's been a pretty disastrous six months.
Our pipes froze solid for about two weeks in winter. It gave sanitation a really hard time to fix the issue. and it made for a bad plumbing situation and not as clean as they would like to be people. I never felt so grimy in my life.
Then came the ice storm that stripped some of the siding off of the house. The roof was fine but we are still going to have to trench and replace vapor lock around the house. it's not to much of a fun job. I hope that we save our pennies to get a back hoe for the trenching.
For some weird reason the cats decided to chew thru one of the water lines under the sink. It caused profuse flooding in the laundry room. So the water line had to be replaced with copper tubing instead of the nice flexible plastic stuff. Under the house in the crawl space. Scary no lights and the total doomy doom darkness of it all.
Not a lot of people know it, but I am terribly allergic to mold. I get any where near mold spores and i pass out K.O. I'm so done. We found out that the smart intelligent people who first had this house and made the generously huge bathroom in the basement. built it without having treated bathroom dry wall. Why because it's so expensive?! Not really, just an extra dollar per square foot. So we went into the basement to put a fan in the bathroom and opened a wall cavity to find the fabled mushroom kingdom from Super Mario brothers. No I mean really there was no insulation in the walls at all. it was jammed packed with six inches deep in all wall cavities.... MOLD OF RECKONING!
So sorry in the delay about free art...
