We Sprung a LEAK!!

While we were in the Bahamas, there was a lot of action going on at the house. We came home to find water all over the kitchen floor, and warped kitchen cabinets. Mold was growing everywhere, and it was a royal mess! The small line from the sink to the refrigerator was leaking like crazy. Many lessons learned on this one...most importantly - if leaving the house for more than a couple of days, turn off the inside water. We also learned the importance of having home owner's insurance. From this experience, we are getting all new kitchen cabinets and countertops. We thought it would be nice to re-do the kitchen someday, we just didn't expect so soon.



This was the awful site under the kitchen cabinet. The smell was about as bad as it looks.



You can see the warped cabinets from the outside. There was no fixing on this one, so they all get replaced.



This is the state of the kitchen now. No more kitchen sink, dishwasher, pantry, or cabinets on one side. The other side will come out this week. We have a huge industrial de-humidifier and a hepa filter currently blowing full blast. It sounds like we live in an airport with the engines up full blast.



Our little temporary kitchen consists of the refrigerator, a makeshift pantry, a small microwave, and the toaster oven. We're lucky that my parent's don't live too far away so they can feed us most of the time, or at least let us use their kitchen.
