The cleaners left at 5:30. 5 months, 13 days, 22 hours later we have our house back. It is beautiful. And weird. For the last 5 months we haven't been able to do anything without considering who was coming, what we needed to prepare for them, etc. It feels very weird.
Congrats! It's been so long I forgot what happened.

Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

Wahoo! When's the grand re-opening extravaganza????
Good morning all. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood today. Hope that continues now that I'm at the office and no major fire drills occur. Though now that I've said that, I've probably activated my #OppositeGirl powers.
You aren't the only one, but since it was in January it probably wasn't due to the heat.
Readers Digest version- Pipe ruptured collapsing ceiling in Foyer, flooding dining room, poured into finished basement collapsing drop ceiling. Removal didn't happen fast enough so then we got mold. Lost walls, rugs, hardwood floors, ceiling and basement contents. Container on the lawn with what they could rescue in it. Sucky outside adjuster for insurance, 5 different insurance case managers (I know that is not the right term but close enough) and a building inspector that is a complete dick, was kicked out of the next town he was so bad. All while lilnsl was graduating and coming home for good. At one point there were 3 of us living in our living room because they were actively working on the rest of the house. It was not pretty. The contractor we ended up with was great. Can't say enough about the guys. They were amazing. By the time they left I felt like they were part of the family.
And they just picked up the 16' container that was our view out of the porch window for the last 5 months. YAY!!!!!!!!1!!11!!!

Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Mornin’ Lodge. Didn’t realize I lived in the tropical rainforest. The last two weeks have been tons of rain, or extreme heat and humidity. It’s still raining here.

June is the rainiest month in MN.
ETA: And I just looked it up, that trend has changed. August is now #1, July #2, and June #3.

Yeah. It was a boatload of fun.
Good evening Lodge! 48 hours until somewhere north of 70 people show up at my house. YIKES. Fair amount of them are lilnsl friends. Think human vacuum cleaners when it comes to food. Baking, prepping and baking....
