Description
Could not decide where to put this and finally decided on Misc.
Could actually be in Horror in my humble opinion.My Family room is completely covered in debris from the Rains on the 22nd and 23rd. We had been using our Family Room as a Music room and then later we moved out the drum set and some of the guitars so we could use the room as a Staging area for our roof. Said roof only needed two or three more weeks of finish work, but the Rain could not wait. The Family room, Kitchen and both bathrooms were damaged. It even flowed down to our Master bedroom to drip drop rain on DearHeart's pillow. Course, I did want to take the popcorn ceilings down, but NOT this way and all at the same time!!
YIKES The rains will wash most things clean, but it just made mud cakes all over my house! Aaaarggg The clean up starts today, just wanted to post this before it is all gone .... now that would be a nice clean world

Then you can cook, bake, dance and repeat.
I love baking but I'm trying to be healthier. All the tasty things are not so healthy.

Unless you use Splenda, as diabetics we've had to learn to do a LOt of the regular baking ourselves as most commercial goodies use too much salt, sugar and possibly corn syrup which is extremely bad for us!

Oh, I love Splenda. They've come out with another sweetener called Nectresse. I tried it by itself. It's just lovely.
I also love organic stevia. It isn't as good in coffee as it is tea. For awhile I was blending it in tea, along with rose hips.
Moderation? With chocolate?? Blasphemy!

Thank-you, it's HUGE, thank goodness the insurance company has taken responsibility or we would've had to do it all ourselves. When they found asbestos they had to do an abatement, that means the ceilings, walls and even the floors have to be stripped down to the studs ( like that word stud!

that is awsome! I mean, the insurance taking care of you like this. And asbestos!?!?!
maybe... and just maybe... this is a sign you guys need to move to a better place, have you thought about it?
stay well and keep us posted plz

Funny thing is, the asbestos is in the glue they used to apply the popcorn ceilings ... which is strange as it wouldn't go anywhere until the popcorn is scraped. We have already scraped my daughters ceiling, the hallways, bathrooms and living room clear of all popcorn, but we used water to do so, soooo it wasn't really an issue, nothing went airborn. We assumed the insurance would do the same, but no, they want everything out, after just a hint of asbestos was found. There's a heavy concentration of it in the mastic that was used to put down the tile in the kitchen back in the early 70's, that's why they want to do all the floors, too. Since we'd wanted to remodel a room at a time, there isn't a problem, just they are doing a lot more rooms at one time than we could have even considered doing... whether or not we get cabinets taken out and then put back, now that is the question of the day!

Aww Sandy, thank-you, It's a heck of a mess, that's for sure!! They're even sending in a special company to drop the rest of the ceilings, sooo everything has to be moved out! YIKES! I'd found cabinets for under $1000 so I've been shopping around for a long time, just don't have that kind of money laying around!
btw Thank-you for all those fav's! Very Sweet of you!

of complaining about paying insurance but when things like that happen,
it sure is a good thing to have!I would think they would replace the
cabinets too,it's not your fault that they are old
Hang in there!I hope they get things fixed up fast for you!
