Our 1 year old washing machine died at the beginning of May and we contacted Sears to send a repairman out to fix it, which they did. The repairs happened on a Thursday. Four days later, we threw in a small load of laundry, left the house to give Milly and Pip some exercise and returned home to find a soppy mess. Awesome? I think not. This is what we walked into:

They also had to remove WALLS! It looked like Randy and I started to build an awesome house and then just ran out of money. |
So, after being displaced for 6 weeks we came home. Randy took the fur babies to his mom's place - which I will mention is DOG PARADISE! 5+ fenced in, wooded acres for running and playing, treats all the time, other dogs to play with...it was a sad transition home - picture to come. I stayed at the Homewood Suites, made some new friends, had dinner cooked for me 4 nights a week and was close to shopping. Oh, I had a terrible time... : )
Anyway, we came home to this: PERFECTION! If you want the name of our contractor, let me know. They were prompt, courteous and did a very good and clean job.

New wood floors...more brown than the old floor (old, hmm, not really...it was laid down in 2008). |
You may be asking yourself, "why did the machine crap out on you like that?" or "what caused the water damage?". The answer is simple: when the repairman reattached the hose to the machine upon completion of the repairs, he never clamped the hose back on...SOOOO...a few wiggles, a few washes and BOOM...1,000 gallons of water everywhere. And the unit was upstairs. When building a house, even though your 'smart' side takes over and is like, "I'm lazy as hell...put that machine upstairs!", think twice!!!
We are glad to be home, but I sure miss the Homewood Suites and all my friends there. If you need a place to crash while your house is flooded, or you just need to get away from your spouse or snot-nosed kids for a while, check them out.
