Whoa, so you don't know when your able to get back in? Did they at least let you get some clothes? It's raining mold on your parade and that angers me. But I bet it is great for your lawyer! For every mishap, he gains more ammo.

Sorry about the computer.

Here --->>> ...... i baked it just for you


(it made sense at the time)

We could be driving a bulldozer with a load of TNT in the back.

Do you want me to call them and pretend I work for the EPA? Or I could be a reporter with the New York Times? Let me know.

*handing Sal the keys* That's a great idea!

Later that same day...

I'm back at the hotel after making the 42.5-mile round trip yet again. It turns out that they underestimated (a laughable understatement!) the seriousness of the problem and had to use mega-turbo doses of chemicals rendering it unsafe until today. Thus, no progress over Friday & the weekend.

So, Gomer Pyle tells me they need at least another day and here I am.

Sandy, it's inaccessible to me, they have their gear, tools and stuff strewn everywhere, so I wasn't able to go in.

I got an inordinately and uncharacteristically contrite email from the regional manager who has been such a pain in the ask. I figured she'd been reamed pretty neatly, she CCd her boss who I emailed on Friday.

Wow, if these people are an example of the general mental prowess of the locals, I'm gettin' outta here ASAP.

I'm going to take a nap and hope I wake up back in my own life!

Gomer's there??!! Well, gaaaaaaaaa-lee!

Sorry.....I couldn't resist.....

Why don't you come on down a little further south to Georgia? There's some mighty nice places to live in North Georgia. Blairsville is right on the GA/NC line. I'm probably 80 or so miles south of it.

How much did they underestimate the problem? Did they find a brand new species of mold found only in your house? Did they have to bring in botanists (or moldists?) to categorize and classify the genus of the mold?

Is the mold fighting back with pitchforks and torches or something? Are the repair people about to resort to a scorched earth solution?

I'm hoping our mold problem is only in my parents shower and that it hasnt decided to branch out yet.

I think it had more to do with quantity/density than with aliens or international conspiracy.

I hope they got it all out for you!

cin,

thanks for the update. i'm fervently praying that this whole mess gets fixed and you get handsomely repaid for all the expense and trouble. then, get the hey out of that place.

FL anyone?
