Water Damage

[suzkaw]

Yesterday I got home from work and had water standing in the kitchen, an overhead light about to fall, and the ceiling with water spots all over it.

Next I went upstairs and had water all in the bathroom and a broken sink cabinet.

All of that from a little pin size hole in the rubber hose that runs from the water shut off valve to the faucet.

This just isn't my year.

Ugh, sorry to hear. The worst thing I have had happen was a water heatr go out and luckily they are usually next to a floor drain.

Ouch! Well look at the bright side - you'll get a new bathroom and kitchen!

I had an overflow a few years ago was going through to my living room all day while I was at work the mess it made was not good and it took ages to dry everything, so you have my sympathy, thats not nice at all.

Nitemare! I can sympathise with you. How are you going to mop up with just one arm?

The insurance company sent over a cleaning crew and they left about 12 fans and 2 dehumidifiers. So we just leave those big loud piece of junks running until Monday.

That water got everywhere - not suprised you will be working from home it needs to get sorted so you can have your house back.

Geez what a mess Eric. What's the go with the plastic hanging over the cupboards? Was that to keep out water that was still coming through the ceiling or is it in preparation for pulling down the ceiling?

Yes they had to scrap the old ceiling and are going to respray it tomorrow. They claim it is a very messy project so that is why everything is covered up.
