The Big Flood

Good heavens, can water do some damage.

The short story:
Our dishwasher became possessed and dumped water all. over. the. kitchen.  And the dining room.  And then it went through the floor into the ceiling of the family room downstairs and it flooded that room too.

All of that water ruined the hardwood floors on the entire upper floor (because if they rip some up they have to rip it all up...), the carpet and padding downstairs, the ceiling downstairs, and some of the drywall on the walls.  The water abatement guys came and brought their own brand of hell in the form 10 industrial fans and 3 industrial dehumidifiers to prevent mold growth.  And now we're living with some torn-out walls and lots of subflooring.

Oh, and we're moving at the end of May.

Stress?  What's that???
