Just a quick update on what is happening at our house thus far. The adjuster came yesterday to survey all the damage which turned out to be quite extensive. I felt like we just came saying, "and then the water went here...and ruined this...and ruined that" pretty much I feel like anywhere that was touched with water was ruined.

(addy loved these blowers)
The great news is that even though it has been sort of a pain to be living in a construction site, we are getting so many things replaced that normally would've cost us a lot more money and time because we would've had to do it ourselves. For example: I have always hated the tile job in our kitchen/dining area because the previous owners did it themselves and did a VERY lousy job. It has been one of the things we were hoping to fix but just never had the money to actually do it. Now with the flood, we get them professionally replaced which is very happy news. Another blessing is that our furnace got ruined. I know crazy to think of living without a furnace in Rexburg for a few days but it actually hasn't been that bad. Anyways it turns out that the furnace we had was the original from when the house was built which was 14 years ago and the live of the furnace was suppose to be about 14-15 years so we would've been lucky to have it last another winter. Now we are getting a new furnace and the insurance is paying for it- major blessing.

Bad news- my carpet in the basement has to be completely replaced and we just bought it a year ago and I really really liked what we had. So we have to go find something else that hopefully we will like just as much.



(goodbye nasty tile)
