Well, let's just say that, like 50% of relationships on Facebook, it's complicated.
The backstory: Our archaic water heater succumbed to metal fatigue and exploded all over our downstairs. Water, water everywhere.
So, like any good story, it's kind of a good news/bad news thing...
The good news is, it was covered by insurance. The nice folks at ServiceMaster came and packed up all of our stuff and hauled it away, set up industrial dehumidifiers and tore out all of the carpet. After what seemed like a ridiculously long period of time (in reality, six weeks) our carpet finally arrived at Home Depot and the contractors came to install it on Monday.
The bad news? I have gone over a month with none of my design supplies, except what I foresaw that I would need and grabbed before pack-up. And, I should mention that my husband, who works from home, had no office either. Needless to say, the dining room table has been a bevy of activity, and accurately reflects the current state of chaos...
Today? ServiceMaster unloaded a pallet of boxes. Today, my workspace is softly carpeted, well-lit and still packed in cardboard and I have a bunch of water-logged furniture in the driveway that I have to figure out what to do with... ;-)
