So here's the lowdown: Our pipes are fixed. There was a very crushed piece of pipe about 2 feet from the foundation. It took a backhoe, a tractor, and a dumptruck, and about 4 days to complete. Plus a few thousand dollars!! But thankfully, the good people at Statefarm are footing the bill for the "renovations" and for all the household goods damaged in the water. We also have a nice new cleanout pipe on the outside of our house. And a lovely new mud wrestling pit in our front yard.
And it looks like, miraculously, our little maple tree might actually make it through this ordeal!!
Our front porch still needs a bit of work... the main beams are in, and the planking just needs to be laid down, and we can have a front door again. Until then, we'll keep the caution tape up. I'm kind of getting attached to it!!
So thank you all again for checking in on us!! We've had quite an adventure this week, and will look forward to having everything cleaned up and back to normal again!!
