A new floor

We woke up Monday, February 22, to a sound of rushing water. Sunday night it had rained and so I sort of thought that was what I was hearing, but as I stepped down the hallway and got closer to the kitchen it was slop, slop, slop. I called for Barry and he rushed in and was able to stop the water. The hot water pipe under the kitchen sink had burst and evidently had been flowing for a good bit of time since there was about 2 inches of water on the floor.

So, our landlord got a call at 5:30am. To her credit, she had a plumber and ServePro ready to go right off. Unfortunately, the water had started soaking into the floor and that proved to be a big problem. We had to have these huge fans in our kitchen for 3 days! They were so noisy and I can't even begin to guess what our electric bill is going to be.


So, we ended up having the flooring all pulled up. They were going to replace it on Thursday, but it was pushed to Monday. Also, since they were going to have to lay new flooring, we had to pull everything out of the areas that had linoleum before.
Here's the extra bedroom with items from the kitchen, bathroom, and closets. We were glad for the space to put the stuff since our weekend was full and we needed to get it out of the way earlier.

Here it is! The wonderfully new floor! We got a bunch of the stuff back in the kitchen area so that it was easier to make lunches, etc., but will have to do the intense cleaning throughout the week.
