It’s cool here, not to cold. Went to the ortho doc today, tendinitis in shoulder...PRAISE GOD no tears, no arthritis.
Then we spent the rest of the day dealing with a water pipe burst that happened last night after supper...it only was on about 25 mins before I found it. But flooded the dinning room, kitchen, and the ceiling in the kitchen was dripping water this morning (water tank is in the atic). We got most of the water sucked out of the carpet in the dinning room and have fans on it...have to call a guy to come in and fix the ceiling though. Hubby fixed the broken pipes today.
That was just terrible, Gail. What a mess you all had! Glad you all were not as cold as we are here. I think I saw where you said it wasn’t too cold. It was 22 this morning and warmed up to 32 later....still felt bitter out there!
By the way, your insurance would take care a lot of those expenses for you. My brother had that to happen a few years ago in Georgia. They got new carpet, plus people to come in and clean the mess. It leaked down into the den and ruined the furniture and they had that replaced. Their insurance was mighty good during that mishap.
Gail,
My sister in Oakridge Oregon called me last night and said when they arrived home, ( been in Korea for 5 months)...their kitchen was flooded by a broken pipe. They did the same.. wet vaccumed and hopefully no damage. Theirs was on hardwood floors.
Today will tell the story. Won’t your carpet need to come up?
Just what you need at Christmas!
How horrible, Gail.
Several years ago, my son had frozen pipes that burst over Christmas. He was here for Christmas and found the mess after being away for a week. The insurance covered all the work needed in his kitchen, dining room and living room.
He now sets his thermostat low when he leaves, even for a few days.
Hope you can get this cleaned up soon; it is an awful time to be worrying about this.
