Thanks everyone for your words of sympathy, I sure needed them! We now have the damp flooring held down with large brick pavers, hoping that will keep the floor from warping. We have the water turned off in the kitchen, so it is back to doing dishes in a dishpan, carrying water from the bathroom.Eating on paper plates a lot !! Today we went to Sears and bought all new appliances!! They will be installed next Thursday.Plumber will come next week early. So, even tho' things went bad, right now I am a happy camper. Early this morning I got outside and trimmed some roses and shrubs and forgot the mess inside. We are in thr process of getting the pool cleaned and ready, and Monday we will go to sons home for a family cook-out and pool party to celebrate Memorial Day and my grandsons graduating from high school and his sister graduating from dental hygeine school. So life is goooood!!
