Can't have a mortgage without it, but Hell Yeah. I'd have been so screwed.
The appliance/plumbing/house systems insurance has been a godsend as well. That pays for the heater, though not for the code upgrades. It will also take care of the leak in the kitchen, though I will be on the hook for the damage in there. Fingers in ears, La La La about that for now.
I want to get rid of the horrible carpet in the guest bath as long as we're in renovation mode--having thoughts about how to do that affordably. My Brother the Handyman will get a consult. Already replaced the shower head and the toilet. Will be downright posh for your next camp. ;>
Tnank you! I am, around the stress and the ZOMG, seeing this as Opportunity. More of this year's theme of out with the old (often forcibly) so that new, good things can come in. Making my house better and more functional, clearing space, refreshing the energy. Getting rid of old, bogged-down, grotty things and patterns and ways of thinking.
There is no mold in that bathroom, which is truly miraculous. It should have been crawling up the walls, but once the floor and walls were out, the structure was clean. So another sign. The basics are sound. What needs to go is the superficial and the temporary.
Argh! Is there anything more wearing than having workmen in, day on day? Thta combination of having your home full of strangers, of things randomly not working/being usable/being accessible, the jnock-on effects of the wrok (X is being mended which puts pressure on Y which breaks down which then reveals that Z needs an overhaul....) You have my profound sympathy. Here's a classic British comedy song that says it all:
