Seriously, Brian and I feel like we can never get a break. The flood in the basement was bad and we still haven't gotten the basement the way we want yet. We found out before Christmas that our dishwasher was leaking. No time, no money- we put it off. Yesterday, the guy came to remove the washer and there was TONS of black mold behind with even more under the vinyl flooring. The saturation went through both subfloors.
So, we have no washer and are washing our own dishes for the first time in 5 years. Because of the exposed mold, we HAVE to fix the floor now. Brian is taking all next week off. He'll remove the vinyl, and two subfloors. Then, he'll rebuild the two layers of subfloor. Then, we call the dishwasher guy to reinstall our new washer. Then, Brian will tile the floor again. We hope a week. We pray not too pricey. We anticipate bumps in the road...did I mention that since my son is OBSESSED with construction and tools, there is no way Brian would be able to work with him in the house so the kids and I will spend much of our days next week at my moms house- sorry mom! We won't be able to cook and we hope we can move our fridge into the dining room for next week so we don't have to defrost and eat out each night.
Oh, it's not over...after working out today, Brian noticed that our back laundry room had water on the floor- our worst nightmare. The dishwasher guy, or me, or something cracked the water pipe that runs the laundry and kitchen so the laundry and the dishes we were doing were simply spilling out into our basement. We shopvaced, cleaned up, and moved on. It's now fixed- we hope.
Pray for our sanity and our bank account!
