Beneath the Wraps

  All the flooring that we had put in had done less than two years ago has been to be replaced.   Once again – are you kidding me?   Just fix the kitchen not the entire flippin’ house.   But no.   Thus were we down to no useable kitchen but had three days possible that the five of us might have to share a toilet.   Oh, no.   That didn’t sit well. Initially the insurance company was going to issue a 28,000 dollar allowance to pay for temporary housing and food that would supposedly last four months.   Four months?   Are you kidding me?   The water damage wasn’t only the floor but ALL of our kitchen cabinets would have to be replaced as well.   What a nightmare. The insurance company talked Richard into staying in the house rather than use the money on temporary housing (which we had looked into and had come up with pricing) for the five of us (wait a minute – did I say that I had no intentions of sharing a bathroom?   Why coul...

            They’re really not.   It just sounds that way as our flooring is being ripped out.   Flooring that we just had put in.   But there was a leak.   And now the entire floor must be replaced – though I don’t think it does.   The flooring that needs to be replaced the most is in another area.   One that was serviced already but needs to be replaced again.   I was going to take pictures of what is taking place but haven’t had the ambition.   I don’t feel well.   Didn’t each much of a breakfast because of aches and pains – that haven’t stopped.   Bonnie is currently in my room and is sad as she would like everyone in the house to pet her.   And there are a lot of them.   Or were.   Our life currently in boxes.   Buzzing bees.   I’m in a trance.

            As I had mentioned in prior posts we had wanted to redo our flooring and add a back room to the house.   Roland had taken time off work the last week of April as we believed that when the floors would be done.   That was the initial plan.   However the product we ordered had to be shipped – which added nearly another month before the floors were started. Unfortunately it hasn’t been finished.   I don’t know if the error was with shipping product or inaccurate measuring so the correct amount of product had not been ordered to begin with or what exactly happened.   But we are still waiting for flooring.   The kitchen isn’t finished and the bathrooms have not been started.   The bathrooms were what I had been concerned about the most – particularly the master bathroom which I know has water damage. We had hired someone local out of Winston.   I was impressed with him and do like his work.   Rola...
