Water, Water, Water...

On Wednesday we flew into LAX. We met Traci and fam at In-N-Out for dinner. The grands went with us to San Clemente. When we went into the MH I heard Lauren say "Poppa you're leaving wet footprints everywhere".
Went into the master bath and a piece of the toilet broke, so water was running. I was able to turn the water off underneath. We figured that the water had been running for at least 2 days.
We called Allstate right away. They told us to check into a hotel. We spent four nights at a Hampton Inn here in San Clemente. We've now checked into the San Clemente Inn. They have one bed-room units with a small kitchenetts.
These pictures I took on Thursday morning when the restoration people had removed the carpet/padding, flooring and moved furniture off of it. They have had fans and dehumidifiers running 24 hrs a day. The dark areas are where the water was. Even today, they are still running in the second bedroom. The particleboard floor is buckled and smells! Sad that they had to rip the wallpaper in the Master Bath that Terry and Traci worked so hard on. We've had to take clothes to the cleaners because of the smell (mold/musty).
We have had two contractors in...looks like walls will have to be removed, new floor, carpeting, etc. It is a mess for sure!









Thank goodness we have a contractor! He's going to be with us when we meet with the adjuster from Allstate. We've found out that Allstate is no longer able to sell ins. in CA. So they will want to short us probably. Terry has been with them since he was 16! By the time the adjuster gets out to see it, it will have been a week already!
Another adventure!
