Good News....Finally

Thinking we fixed it...then, good night, we went to bed....

Every footprint is water...lots and lots of water...

I wish this picture showed HOW much water there was....you also cannot tell that the vinyl is floating on the other side of the kitchen table all the way into the pantry.

yes, please, save the carpet (it's gone, no worries, not putting THAT back in my house)

I think I now know more information....

The Estimator is very happy because we got all we asked for. We're getting money to fix my floor (not replace it). We're having our cabinets ripped out (which is good, because we can get the floor dry underneath) but we are able to save them and put them back in. We are getting money to replace the counter top, and shouldn't have to rip up too many walls. I'm officially out of my house for a month, but it could be as little as 2 weeks.

We have enough time to rip the house apart and do some repairs ourselves. We are hoping to put in woods floors (thank you Rob and Ruth), new counter tops, and possibly paint the walls while we have no floors in. I can see light at the end of this tunnel and the world is no longer crashing down on top of me. I'm enjoying being able to stay in a hotel with my family (including my cat), being paid to drive the extra 30 miles, and dinner included when we decide not to cook dinner.

Thank you Jeff for being an awesome helper and working for us, and making my life so much easier to manage, knowing I have someone to trust through this whole process!
