Another temporary place

Last Tuesday the plumber came and finally fixed the shower. Now on to issue #2 -- the mold! Our landlord had two mold remediation specialists come out and their views on the situation were quite different. On guy said to just bleach it. The other person said tear down the wall etc.... Of course the landlord heard "just bleach it" and he figured that would be good enough. I didn't necessarily agree with this approach, but there wasn't a lot I could do.

Apparently the plumber and they guy that the landlord brought out to actually bleach the wall explained to him that the mold was much worse that bleach could handle, so this weekend we were forced to find a temporary home for the temporary home. UGH! We ended up just going to Peoria for the night on Saturday. We cam back home yesterday and we still do not have a shower, but the moldy wall is gone.

We went to the movie in the park and when we got home from that is looks like everything is almost ready to go so we should be able to shower again tonight. I sure hope they clean the bathroom when they are done with repairs because it is a mess!!!

The sad part is, this post is about issues with the house we are renting...our temporary house. This really should not have caused us this many issues. We've tried to stay positive but we are just ready for our house to be done.

Quick update on the construction...nothing has changed. We got rain on Wednesday when they were supposed to pour the basement floors and Thursday it stormed really bad, leaving it too wet to do anything Friday. And of course this weekend was Labor Day weekend so no one was going to work then. This coming week is not looking promising either. Tomorrow there is a chance for rain in the morning. So far, Wednesday looks clear but Thursday - Saturday calls for storms again :(
