I haven't been on much lately - year end has had me running in circles.

About 2 weeks ago, my wife slipped on some ice in a parking lot and broke her ankle. She really did a number (broker fibula, tore ligament, dislocated ankle). She had surgery on New Year's Eve and all seemed to have gone well. She is resting her foot comfortably now, but already getting a little stir crazy. She hopes to go back to work soon, but not driving herself. Being its the right foot, she won't be driving for at least two months. Fortunately we have a live in chauffer (Devin) who will be able to take Cindy back and forth for a couple of months. (I think I need to get Devin a black hat, when he drives Cindy in the DTX ). Well with her out of commission, us boys have a few more chores to take care of.

Work is also very busy now - I am now in charge of Purchasing and Inventory out WEST (as well as Midwest & Texas). Much more traveling. I'm thinking the XLR will not get the miles this year, as in past... but I'll certainly try, whenever I am in town.

Hope everyone else is have a good winter season.

Prayers will be going your way for Cindy's quick recovery. Before long she'll again be back to normal...

Hope all turns out well and God bless you all!

Well this is when I wish I had a lot of extra garage room. Or just even a large storage room. This mold problem is effecting my space. My condo looks like a tornado or hurricane went through here. To top it off. I have to leave baby out in the developments side parking lot. This is because the stove and cabinets, that aren't mold effective are in my garage. I'm thinking I need a room just for emergency procedures like this. I'm not going to post the pics because some people might have weak stomachs. I hope I can get baby back in the garage next week. I hate to see her outside more then a hr. Especially when I have a garage.

Are you staying in your place while the mold abatement takes place? Mold can be VERY detrimental to a person's health. When my Dad's basement flooded several years ago, his insurance company put him up in a hotel while the mold abatement took place...

Unfortunately yes my mom and I are staying here. But we are staying in the back part of the condo. The only areas are the front bathroom and the kitchen area. We are going out to eat a lot. The tear out has begun and tomorrow the guys are spraying the walls and ceilings. I was gone most of the day so my mom was here while the workers were here.

Guy
I guess the first question is this an Insurance job or out of pocket? I don't know who's doing your tear out and rebuild, but our business would of rented you a Pods storage unit to put your stuff in, also Rod is correct you should be sealed off from the workers did they put up plastic or all temporary wall unit to block out the dust and ect.......from traveling to the rest of the house. You really should not be there tomorrow either while their spraying the paint face mask are must so not to inhale the fumes! Please be careful!

 

[hawkeye372]

yes insurance guy sent a worker to wrap or tent the rooms with plastic. My dog and I will probably spend the day out on the porch and only go inside to grab food and or use the bathroom. The insurance guy sent the mold guy here and he had a big machine to get ride of the mold and then put the smaller machine in the other tented room. The only bad thing is you can't hear yourself think with these machines on. So I have the door shut in the room that I'm in. That way I don't have the tv blaring.

Well that's good they should of paid for a storage unit for you too instead of making you use the garage, yes the machine that making all that noise may be an air scrubber? Good luck

Yes I agree. Because even when I had my honda crv. I was always up half the night because every noise I heard I was thinking is that from my car? Now that I have this one I really watch out. At least I live in a Simi non vandal area. But you never know because there are only a handful of actual "owners". The rest are renters. I'm a very particular person especially now that my baby has to spend the night out side. Hopefully it won't be to long. It could be worse and I could live up where you are in the frigid cold. Btw what is the temp up there in pa

Well, Dan, you know what they say... one man's fortune is another man's misfortune. Just be glad you're on the right end of that saying...

From what I just saw on TV it's starting to warm up for you poor people stuck in that cold snap. I'm lucky, we had 27 degree weather for about a week then it returned to our normal winter weather of 40's in the day and mid 30's during the night. The lowest I've seen was 34 degrees. I work at the 500 foot level and I have to log our the temp and other things once an hour, working the graveyard shift.

Here this will heat you guys up a good reason our XLR is "SO LOW"

Whew spent the last month sweating and getting dirty but look at the finished product. Heck I didn't even put a scratch on her when I put all the ground effects on. Just look at the finished product.
