Waterlogged

Hey friends,

I just wanted to stop in to let you know that I have not been absent from my blog recently by choice. We came home from Christmas holiday to find our apartment was affected by severe water damage dur to our upstairs neighbor trying to change his toilet. A remediation crew came in and removed our entire ceiling out and two feet off the top of our walls and floor boards. They also removed our entire kitchen and we have moved most of our personal property out into storage because they will have to replace our entire floor as well. For the past month we have moved more times than I can count but we have now found temporary housing that our insurance is paying for. We hired a mold inspector who came in and found high levels of mold still present. Once we presented this to our management company they brought in their own inspector and we are waiting for that report back. I suspect that we will have to fight with our building and the insurance company about who will be paying for what and will have to make sure the rebuilding is done correctly. We have talked to a lawyer and are kind of waiting for them to tell us what they will do next before we decide whether to sue or not because we have been told that if most is being covered by insurance it can be hard to win a case of this type. There is almost too many things to mention and as you might imagine it gets quite depressing talking about it. I just wanted to let those who do not know me well where I have been and to those who have been there for me emotionally during these tough times I just wanted to say thanks. On a positive note, At least we are both safe and healthy and not too much of our personal property was lost. I have still been discovering some great music that I will post once my life is back in order. Keep checking back for new stuff but in the meantime please peruse what I have uploaded so far and you will hear from me soon enough...
