About a week and a half ago we had a pipe break in the kitchen and it flooded the basement. We had to replace a bunch of the drywall we just put in the basement and some of the insulation we put in the ceiling. Talk about bad luck... it also damaged half of the hardwood floors in the kitchen.
In process of finding out who's fault it is and fixing everything.. we are getting really nice hardwood floors put in this time and we are quite excited. The only thing that won't be fun is.. we won't have a kitchen for Christmas. I'm going to know exactly how my mom feels now.
Anyway.. we also found out other things about the current hardwood in the kitchen. Turns out that the builder didn't have an AC unit in all summer and it caused all the wood to dry out and shrink.. So.. they have to pay to replace ALL of the flooring and not just the parts that were damaged by the water.
So.. this little water leak turned out to be a good thing in the end! I can't wait to have my new floor! I love our house!
