We
knew there'd be problems before we moved in.
I didn't get that the discoloration on the floor meant water
damage. We called the insurance company
who sent a crew out June 28 and stayed with us until July 6 and disappeared.
The
insurance company had wired money to our bank in addition to paying Service
Master. okay, additional expenses like the plumber,
electrician . . . but wait. We still
need more than just a sub floor. . . Installation
We
finally heard back from Service Master on August 11, I believe. It was by phone on Friday and they said
they'd be out on Monday. They
weren't. Roland received a call after 6:00
pm on Tuesday. A representative came to
give an estimate, which Roland tore apart and ended up agreeing to dry wall
only. Oh, and let's not forget the
furnace that has been in our kitchen the last 6 weeks. And please return our daughter's possessions!
Dry
wall put in. Furnace installed but not
connected. Jenna's belongings didn't
arrive until Friday. To save ourselves
some money, we decided to paint and install the floors ourselves. Some pictures
I have posted already. But here is a
synopsis of our lives June 28 through today.
