Fievel Goes West
Life happens. It’s useless to stay upset about it. The hot water tank needs to be replaced; I’ve got a call in with my home warranty, so it’s going to be in their hands. Meanwhile, the flooding, as little as it was, got under the flooring and since I don’t really know what the nature of my subfloor is, I felt like I had no choice but to pay for mitigation. The wall between the laundry room and hallway got the worst of it, and it’ll dry in time. They removed the baseboards and have fans on it. They ripped up the flooring on either side because there was no way for the vinyl floor to dry out, and nobody knew what was underneath. Concrete! It would probably have been okay, drying really slowly. But it likely would have dried. I feel like I wasted $1700, but I am also happy that I won’t end up with any mold issues. There is some value in peace of mind. I’m going to have to live without flooring in those two spaces until I figure out what kind to go with. I really do want rolled vinyl, but the water tank needs to drain properly!
My walk was interrupted earlier, so I went downtown this evening to finish my miles. There was a big screen where Fievel Goes West was playing, which I thought was fun. I like how alive downtown feels here. There are too many vacancies, but it seems like it is holding on. I hope that continues.
Cold showers for now. That is a problem with Justin’s eye issue. He really needs to stay on top of cleanliness. Big fans (loud!) are on until Sunday. Plumber comes Thursday for the hot water tank. Hopefully they can get a new one quickly. While I’m annoyed that it went out, it is fortunate that it went out within the year that I have this warranty.
