During a snow/rain storm in January, a leak in our roof made itself manifest. A small, steady stream of water started running down the inside of our door. The walls got wet, the ceiling got wet, the floors got wet. Our homeowners insurance covers the damage to the inside of our house. Not to the outside because there was no visible damage to any shingles. The leak was not caused by our addition.The contractor who is doing our upstairs is doing the repair work for us. The kitchen table is in the front room, on top of some vinyl tablecloths. Some hardwood needs replacing and then the entire floor will be sanded and refinished. Some sub-floor needs replacing. The insulation was replaced. A microbial solution was sprayed on the interior of the wall cavities. (It was really stinky!) The sliding door will be changed to an atrium door (the insurance isn't covering this, I'm paying for it). Since we've recently gained a lot of experience in painting, we'll be painting these walls and ceiling, too.
Both the upstairs and downstairs should be completed at the same time. Perhaps before my birthday!
