Leaking Leaking....Oh Plug That Leak

So here we are minding our own business and Cina tells me whilst I am in Chicago that her office stinks. I get home on Friday and thought I had found the problem. A lid to a plastic storage bin was turned over next to the radiant heater and there was a lot of condensation in side. So...I lift the lid and let it dry out.

As Hans and I were on our way into Priesthood meeting Saturday night at the Conference Center Cina calls me and tells me she thinks it is bigger than that. After a wonderful Priesthood meeting I get home and look and there it is...soaking wet carpets, mold on the walls and stink galore.

I called the insurance company at 1030 PM and then again on Sunday AM. They called back and told us to get remeidation done ASAP to start drying out the area. We called and called and got Utah Disaster Kleenup there on Sunday afternoon. They came and sprayed for mold...after wiping down the walls and then they cut holes in the closet in Cina's office and in the shower in the main level bathroom.

After that they turned on 4 fans and are blowing air all around through the holes...onto the walls and more. They ripped up the pad for the carpet and then laid the carpet back down on the floor. When we flooded in Orem {thanks to a fire hydrant burst} they actually lifted the carpets up and blew the fans on the carpet and the wood. Not sure why they are not doing that here...but Cina will ask them today {Tuesday} when the adjuster and UDKleenup shows up to go through the property.

We also had a plumber come out on Monday and determine the problem and so we are having all new plumbing done for the gaskets and such around the hoses that go into the sinks and toliets. This is at our cost {yippe}...but at least we know it will be done and not at Mike Camper quality.

With all four fans blowing 24 hours a day, including one in our master bedroom, Cina and the Kids are at the Holiday Inn Express in Heber. They have a pool there...but have not used it yet since Cello was yesterday and Gymnastics are today.

It's all well and good for them to learn to play the cello, but can they swim?
