Flood...

When we got back from AZ we learned that our apartment had flooded from a backed up water heater! Our neighbor had noticed that her carpet was wet and so she went outside to get our manager and noticed water rushing out from our apartment.They said that it had flooded about a foot high everywhere. Our manager worked hard and got EVERYTHING out of apartment and moved it into another apartment so all of our belongings could air out because everything got wet! They redid the floors and moved half of our stuff back in. We were so lucky that nothing was ruined, but still it wasn't my first choice to walk into our apartment at 2 in the morning after a 16 hour drive and see everything stacked and scattered everywhere. The next few days we re-moved into our apartment and thought that the worst was behind us. However, a few days later we noticed this growing on our walls...

MOLD!!! On our baseboards in every room in the house. It was gross! And worst of all I was getting sick from it. As soon as I wiped it all down I literally got better in a few hours, thank goodness!They said I had an allergy to it. However, from what I heard the mold probably is still in the sheet rock in the walls so we are still exposed and need to get out. We are meeting with our landlord to find out what we are going to do or move! We hope that he will either move us to another apartment or let us out of our lease so we can get away from the mold. I don't want to move away from our apartment but we will see what happens. I will keep you updated.
