A few weeks ago we were home having a relaxing and wonderful Sunday afternoon. Jason had just finished grilling some amazing steaks and we were about to sit down to dinner as a family. I brought the steaks in and Jason stayed outside to put the grill away. When I came in there was a puddle of water in the floor. I thought I had somehow spilled something, so I bent down to wipe it up. When I did, water came gushing out from under our laminate flooring! I knew something was wrong. After some investigation, Jason figured out that our water heater has rusted out and had been leaking.
We had to have all our laminate flooring pulled up and had two huge fans and a huge dehumidifier in our house for three days....running...loudly. It was unnerving to say the least. Not to mention the dust and yuckiness that was on the concrete floors we lived with for two weeks. I literally think Jason and I almost went nuts. Don't you just love the sheets on the couches?
To help us feel better about how gross the concrete was, we "carpeted" the floor with rugs. It was sort of like patchwork flooring. Doesn't it look AWESOME!?!? Trust me when I say that we were just glad to have the concrete covered even if it did look ridiculous.
This is the new flooring. We love it even more than the old flooring, but most of all we love that we aren't living on concrete floors anymore. And, you'll notice, the sheets are gone from the couches.
To say this whole ordeal was stressful, is an understatement. Thank goodness for insurance.
