Home Renovation - Step One

So, remember the water story last week?  This is the story it has turned into. 
Found a leaky pipe under the kitchen sink.  Water traveled under the cabinets and the laminate flooring.  Monday morning, we were able to file a claim and it is covered by our home owners insurance.  PTL!  

Monday, we had the water restoration company come out and begin the process of removing the flooring and starting the fans and dehumidifiers.
We also had our adjuster come and assess our claim.
Oh yeah, we also had the plumber come and reclean our main line.  Right after finding the leaky pipe, our shower and toilet backed up.  They came out Sunday and then had to come back out on Monday.  Talk about water problems!  LOL!

Monday.  
Our living space has been dramatically reduced! 
Do you like the previous owner's flooring? :)
Tuesday, Service Pro cut the drywall to dry out the inside of the walls.  They also took out the kitchen bottom cabinets.


So, here we are Tuesday night and day 2 of hotel living.  LOL!  Not sure how long we will be here - depending on the renovation time.  We are thankful for a beautiful place to stay and insurance to cover our losses.  More on what is happening in the Tastet home but first, sleep!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
