Well, it's been a helluva few weeks. Water damage from simultaneous leaks in dishwasher hose, hot water pipe (in wall and under slab) and HVAC in attic of my townhome - how could all three happen at once for Pete's Sake? I've spent the last 10 days with 20 dehumidifiers and fans doing their thing but full mitigation requires the removal of ceilings in two rooms, three walls, and hardwood flooring on both upstairs and downstairs floors and staircase. Pack out of my furniture to off-site storage begins tomorrow followed by demolition, fixing the plumbing, reconstruction, cleaning and bringing the furniture back - a three to four week process with a total cost of about $50,000.
Thank God for insurance and a low deductible.
It also means that I have to completely disassemble my hi fi and put it in my master bedroom for the time being - neither was touched by the water damage but I don't trust the contractor to move or store my babies. So while I endure this homeowner hell, and knowing I'll eventually have to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, I thought it might be a good idea to move from my makeshift audio set up (which is pretty horrible) to a dedicated audio rack from Steve Blinn. I needed to do this anyway, might as well do it now and get it over with. Ordered this rack last night.
