Demoltion started yesterday!

So they started tearing apart my house yesterday! From the beginning.
We have this dog that sometimes does not make it outside for the restroom; but he's never peed in the house. Well everytime I'd walk through the hallway there was this wet spot. I was getting mad at the dog; mad at the kids sure someone (a.k.a. kaiden) took water back there and was dumping on my carpet. Finally I told bob something is wrong there is now a puddle in the hallway and runs over my feet when I step in it (which was impossible to miss it took up the enitre width of the hallway)! So we called an AC place and they said yes it was leaking we have to replace the pan for $800 because they have to custom make it. And our unit is about 10 years past it's life expancty or we can replace the AC for $3000.00 We still don't have AC (this has been over a month! ) So then we called the ins. because it's obvious we have water damage. Yes they'll fix it and they sent out water specialist. They estimate and say they have to rip out the hallway wall, carpet, and the master bedroom wall and ceiling (just parts of it.)
So fast forward to yesterday (Tuesday) the guys come to rip out the wall and carpet. And they decided that this is much worse than they thought we have mold; and more than they usually deal with. they are now thinking ; after ripping out the hallway wall and carpet: that the kids' bathroom floor has to come up (we were not sad about this). then they got in the crawl space and said that under the tub is soaked too! Fun stuff. So now we are waiting to see what all has to be done.
As we are waiting we can not use our AC and it's 90 degress + outside. It did get down to 67 degrees lastnight so we opened up and kept all the fans on. Not helping this morning though it's kinda' warm in here. Not to mention they have dehumidifiers going which make it really hot in here!

Doesn't sound like much fun guys! With this heat and humidity I am sure you are very uncomfortable! I am thankful for our AC in weather like this. Hope things turn around for you guys soon. Getting rid of the mold should help everyone! We will be praying for you! Love You - Aunt Norma
