Gawd Catherine! Sorry to hear the new house is turning into the "money pit". Did the doctors know why you were so sick?(pm me) Just wondering if perhaps the drain was an ongoing problem in the house. If there was water damage to the drywall before you bought the house Im sure it was painted over and the previous owner did his/her best to hide it. Maybe there is mold in the walls that caused you to get so sick, is what Im getting at.

I'm just unlucky when it comes to getting sick. I only ever get sick about once every 3-5 years, and when I get sick, I get really sick. Although I think this is the longest to date I've ever been so ill. I had a cold, then I caught the flu, and then I caught the stomach bug while I had the flu. Oh...yeah I have a cough, its free to a home, any home, want to adopt? I'll even let you hear it it all its seal-like glory tomorrow.

There didn't seem to be any water damage before the first flood, when the tank emptied itself onto the floor. Who knows though right? Its coming down anyways now.

Catherine put the claim in for the amount of 500 i think is the claim amount or lower you will have the reno company come in clean all the water damage and re build everything that got wet i did it here and it work ed great back in 2001 the water came up thru the drain and it was on the city's side. if you have trees around your place if they are on your side then its your fault and the insurance wont cover it. if its on city property then its their falut they take over the expense.

if the roots are on city property then they will paid to get this done every 3 months and you just pay up front and they will cut the money back to you..

Well I did call insurance and the lady was as dumb as a rock. I'm waiting until Monday when our broker is back to work. Our deductable is $1000, and we don't think there is that much damage. However I did take a lot of photos, and we've already cleaned up most everything. I guess we'll figure it out on Monday if it worth it to move forwards with a claim or not.

We just looked out the window and our neighbor has a plumber over right now....hmm I wonder if everyone is having issues?

I picked up two new SPS mini-colonies today. A confusa, and a I don't know what, however I previously had another frag of it, which did not survive the heater crash, aka crash #1.

Revive/floor cleaner bath






This is what I am hoping it will turn into,
