Reflections on the Cabin Flooding

Posted in Family

Time and again, we heard the same statements from the various people who came to the cabin after the pipe burst and subsequent flooding: Wow! You guys are way out here. I didn’t even know this area existed! I can’t believe how much work you did. You guys have really good attitudes about all of this. The first one always made us chuckle. It’s one of the reasons that we loved the property. It’s away from the craziness of the city, but we still have excellent neighbors who look out for each other. It’s something special to have a tight…

Flooding at the Homestead: Part 3

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

Now that our claim was actually being worked on, we started to see some things begin to happen. The water mediator showed up at the house. He was shocked to see that we had done the entire demolition as this had never happened to him. Basically, all he had to do at this point was to set up fans and dehumidifiers. He said it was the easiest job ever for him. He actually felt bad that we had done all of that work and that it had taken that long for the insurance company to send him out. It wasn’t…

Flooding at the Homestead: Part 2

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

While many people may have skipped making Thanksgiving dinner when faced with our crazy circumstances with the flooded cabin, I felt it was important to at least enjoy that part of our day. It also provided us with some good food to eat without having to stop to make up a full meal. Munchkin liked being able to grab food here and there as she got hungry. Since Munchkin wasn’t feeling well, she ended up keeping the dogs with her and resting most of the day. She also worked on the book that she was writing. Having the dogs with…

Flooding at the Homestead: Part 1

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, we packed up the truck and headed up to the cabin for a relaxing long weekend. What happened was anything but relaxing…. When we arrived at the cabin, we could hear the fire alarms going off, but we couldn’t figure out why until we walked into the cabin. The entire back half of the cabin was flooded. The fire alarms had shorted out due to all of the water. We sprung into action. D turned off all the water in the house, and we started to sweep all the water out of the back of the…
