A little snag in the proceedings....

Maybe you can get a few nice cutting boards for the kitchen from that lovely floor?

I always amazes me when we discover what a prior owner did to a house.

Ask the insurance company to cover a gym membership for a month so you have access to showers!

Remember Murphy's Law? Sound like it has attached to you lately. Very seldom are things ever as simple as they are suppose to be. Not in my life anyway.

Any chance of getting those marble tiles up without damaging them ????

Oh my.... How about the insurance company footing a hotel room for a week?
I hope the contractor let's you make payments (I'd be surprised if they did, it seems everyone wants their monies 1/2 for a deposit or when the job is done) since this is an insurance job.

Not here......we are only allowed to charge 10% deposit, and then payments at certain stages when work is completed....it's the law.
Insurance work here you get paid like 3 or 4 weeks after the job is completed, in fact I waited 18 months once for $13,000, not nice when they keep losing the paperwork....LOL.

Ouch, that stinks. Hope the insurance will cover it.

Nothing ever goes as planned in construction, I think it's a law that it can't go as planned.
