Here again, here again.
This past week has been February vacation for school, so I've had the week off from work. My plan for the week was to move back into my condo; apparently that was not meant to be though. Management called to tell me that my downstairs neighbor had a leak in their ceiling, so could I please check all my appliances. Well, my fridge was leaking and clearly had been for some time. The floors are laminate hardwood and it turns out the "subfloor" was actually thick insulation meant to go in walls. My floors soaked up all the water until it couldn't hold anymore and then leaked downstairs. There was never a puddle or any indication of water whatsoever.This resulted in having to rip up all of the flooring in my kitchen, remove all cabinets and appliances, and take some drywall down because there was mold. My next step is to get some contractors in to get quotes for how much it will be to put new floors down and put my kitchen back together. To say that this week has been exhausting would be a major understatement!
Here are some before and after pictures (the drywall was not yet taken down in the after pictures):



And since my condo was built 15 years ago and all of the material was builder grade, the adjustor doubts very much that we'll be able to find flooring to match what's already there. So who knows what the end result will even be!
So yeah, I'm annoyed as well as physically and mentally exhausted. I'm also even more stressed than usual!
Cheers! 😫
