This water damage was not covered by our home owners insurance. This means Josh and I will have a lot of extra, unanticipated expenses in the coming months as we rebuild.
We're already doing much of the work ourselves. Today we ripped out two walls and the basement kitchen cabinets. Tomorrow we will tackle the back wall in the den.
But the materials to fix the basement - new walls and floors are going to add up quick. This is basically a bathroom and kitchen and three room remodel all rolled into one!
We are continuing to pack and ship and run our business in addition to managing these repairs. It's quite overwhelming, but this is the challenge set before us, and we will rise to it on a daily basis.
I'm also continuing to shoot and share Mini Block Monday and Free Motion Friday videos. Please share these videos online with your friends so we can reach more quilters that may never have heard of the Free Motion Quilting Project or any of the free tutorials we've shared for years.
