So as you saw, we have a leaky pipe under our master bathroom that pooled into the living room below. \u00a0Aside from structural damage, the dog bed was the only thing destroyed. \u00a0Sam auditioned the replacement bed for Jem.<\/p>\n

We are running the damage through our homeowners insurance. \u00a0USAA is a really great company. \u00a0Glad we have them.\u00a0 The damage was positive for mold AND asbestos. \u00a0Yippy!\u00a0 Yesterday they set up the negative pressure seals to isolate it. \u00a0<\/div>\n

The leak came after I spent the weekend cleaning our couch and our armchair. \u00a0Our babysitter let the kids have milk in the living room. \u00a0I discovered milk had spilled all the way through both pieces of furniture when Molly started lapping up the puddles forming on the floor beneath them. \u00a0THEN Sam had an accident sitting in the armchair, releasing a flood of urine on the recently cleaned cushion.\u00a0 But I’ll tell you what, there’s nothing like major home damage to make furniture spills seem inconsequential.\u00a0 My brain instantly flipped from possibly getting a new living room set, to possibly getting a new living room.<\/p>\n

Today I met with the project managers for the abatement and the reconstruction.\u00a0 It looks like it will be 2-3 weeks to complete the asbestos\/mold removal and dry out, then a couple weeks to plan and approve the reconstruction.\u00a0 Depending on how much needs to be done it could take 3 weeks or more.\u00a0 The minimum we are looking at is new drywall, new paint, and sand and finish the hardwood floors.\u00a0 It could be as extensive as replacing the flooring for the entire main floor, redoing the master bath, and maybe even fixing unseen damage into the basement. We won’t know until the abatement is done and they can safely investigate.<\/p>\n

Luckily our insurance will cover the abatement and the reconstruction.\u00a0 We are only responsible for the plumbing repair and anything we request beyond the “return to normal” repairs (I figure if they end up tearing up the master bath we might as well upgrade it).<\/p>\n

I spent today re-organizing the living room and basement so we have comfortable spaces for the next couple months.\u00a0 Currently we can’t use the upstairs toilets.\u00a0 For a short time we will be cut off from most of the main floor and possibly the basement.\u00a0 This will probably cut us off from all house toilets.\u00a0 I’m working on a solution so we don’t have to stay in a hotel during the abatement.\u00a0 That would really suck.\u00a0 For now, we are trying to keep smiles on our faces.<\/p>\n
