So when we came home on Jan. 1st, after spending 3 weeks in California, we noticed a river of water coming out of our garage. We went inside to find out that some pipes burst in the wall of the hall bath upstairs. After finding the water main and shutting it off, we called a disaster crew and the next day clean up began. What they found out upon inspection of damages was that sometime while we were gone, our heater broke so the house got too cold and pipes froze and burst. They estimated the water was running for 2-3 days. Not exactly what we were planning to come home to at midnight! We spent a week at my cousins house then a week at some other friends' house before moving back home. The repairs were slow going but I am happy to say its finally all done and better than before! We got the main floor and the upstairs repainted and changed the color slightly, new drywall in the garage, new breaker box, shower tile, carpet in the hall upstairs, garage doors, wood floor, cupboard doors, water heater, and we got reimbursed for all our damaged personal items. so we got cash to buy new stuff. Gotta love insurance! see, blessing in disguise!
