The manager of the flooring place arrived promptly at 8am this morning with 2 of his crew members. These two men are the ones that actually layed the floor and they were the ones to have to tear it up. I'm sure they were dissapointed to see what happend to all of their work. They went to work right away and said they would be done by 6pm. Its only a little after 4 now and they are just about finished. We will have a concrete slab downstairs for 2 to 3 days while the drainage problems are addressed and the floors dry out completely. The contractor will also come once per day to test the moisture level in the walls to see if any of the drywall will need to be removed. What a mess. I still look at Joel, laugh, and ask, "is this really happening?"
I spent most of the afternoon over at my friend Renae's house. It was nice and quiet there as opposed to my machinery-filled living room. We are going to another friend's house tonight for dinner so everyone is taking care of us! I feel like we've handled the situation quite well and all parties involved are willing to give us whatever we need to make up for the inconvenience.
