Speaker 1 (00:01):
Guys, it's raining that. Yeah, it's pretty pretty bad. Do
you guys remember the Great Rains of twenty twenty?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
What was that?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Are you talking about that one where like they warned
us for like two weeks that the biggest.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Was in January? Was no, no, no, the actual rains
last year.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
But also one where the news stories were showing like
the damage but it was actually just like a water from.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
A Yeah, oh no, we were gonna have like a
hurricane and then we didn't. We didn't.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Okay, you're talking about the one when the South.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
All the flooding. Yeah, it really was out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, we got it pretty bad where it was. We
had a leaky roof and my daughter's whole room got
destroyed and all that stuff, and so I had to
you know, that was a crazy, you know mess that
we had to deal with last year.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, it was last year of yours. I don't remember why.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I can't remember it was it two years ago or
was it last January? But it seems like a forever ago,
but we remember that, right. Oh yeah, yeah, So my
daughter's the roof leaked and messed up her whole room
and so we had to cut all that out and
then get a whole new roof and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So that was a disaster.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It was last year because I remember seeing on the
news in January them doing the year you know it
was it had been a year since the big floods.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Okay, well then last year, what time when was this?
Like I don't remember anymore. I had a situation in
my dining room. Oh yeah, where all of a sudden,
there was like some water on the floor and I'm like,
this is very odd because there's no pipes, there's not
(01:44):
a sink or anything like that. Yeah, it didn't make
any sense, so I was very confused. Well, it turns
out that my h VAC unit up in the you know,
attic was had like a leaky pipe or so every
single time we turned on the ac, it just got
worse and worse and worse to the point of where
I mean, it completely destroyed my wall. And so the
(02:05):
entire whole wall had to be torn out, and then
all of that, you know, you have to get the
you know, flood restoration people in there. You know, all these.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Different things blowing in your house.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
For like that was days to almost two weeks of
fans blowing in my house, which like if you're I'm
not noise sensitive, but at some point you just go,
I'm ready to just throw these things through the roof
you know or whatever, or out the window. So that
was a massive disaster that you know, it didn't see
coming and came out of nowhere. Of course, awesome, how awesome.
(02:38):
Insurances didn't cover it, you know, so that was that
was fun. It's it's a racket.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh yeah, they'll look for like any tiny little thing
to get them.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
When they do cover it, they drop you a year later. Yes, yes,
you claim.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
How dare you actually use insurance that you've paid for for?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Like, it's pretty insane, but it's how it's always been,
you know. So that that happened, and so you know,
things haven't been that great, you know, but whatever kind
of felt like, all right, the worst is over. Not
so much so with this last batch of rain. You know,
we had the big you know kind of rainfall that
came a couple of days ago, and then yesterday was
(03:17):
it was fine until last night, but yesterday my wife
goes over to Gramma Nancy's. Now Grandma Nancy lives in
sort of her own like little adu off my property.
It's it's kind of attached, but not attached. It's hard
to say. It's almost like a little apartment, I guess,
you know, but you know, I have a game room.
(03:39):
And then and then the ADU is like right next
door to it, and you know, that's where Grandma Nancy lives.
And so Debra's over there all the time, going over
visit her mom whatever. And so she went over there
yesterday and she discovered something not great. She discovered that
her carpet next to the wall on the outer part
(04:02):
was wet. And she was like, why is the carpet wet?
This isn'ts weird and she's looking around, can't really figure
it out. Then sees, you know, that the baseboards down
below are wet, and it's not making sense because again,
you know, if you have an issue with rain, you
would think it would come from up above.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It's not. It's coming from down below.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah, you see some like staining of where.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You know, and there's not again, no pipes bursting, nothing
like that. It's going to be happening over on this wall.
And so it's very strange. It doesn't make any sense.
And so we're looking around, you know, she calls me
over looking around, trying to figure out what the heck
is going on. Well, it turns out that there is
like a small kind of gap in between where like
the concrete foundation is and where the house is. And
(04:49):
for some reason, now every time it rains, it's going
to like funnel into this little gap. And the gap
is now flooding to where you know, if you got
that much rain, it like flooded and now is getting
into the house. It's seeping in down from below.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Oh god, oh god. No, So that was not the
news I wanted. Well, no, I wouldn't think so, Edward.
That's not good, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So we start to move things around a little bit
and trying to figure out, like, you know, what's what's
the damage here?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, and it is crazy. So it's in her like
little living area, like you know, living room. Yeah, and
she's got a couch in there, a sweet curio cabinet
all your curios.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
You have to for all your knickknacks and.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Porcelain figuring with doubt, ye, of course, I mean it
is pretty sweet.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Is there a collection of something specific or is in
a mismash of like.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Family pictures and porcelain items?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Think in the curio cabinet. It's all just those kind
of like little figurines and things. And then she has
her old chest that's there, and you know that every
old lady has as well. She's got that old chest.
And then shelving above where the pictures and stuff. All okay,
so we moved the curio cabinet and see that there
(06:15):
is the carpet underneath this. It must be happening for
I don't know how long because it's like black.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
Mold, and no way she could have seen it before.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So I don't know how she would have.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Because I was wondering maybe if she like she saw it,
but knew that Eddie was always buying her off brand Oreos.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And do you know what she's paying me back. I'm
letting her live their red freets.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
That's what you're going to use to repeat.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
She lives in red free and I buy the groceries
and don't ask for I said, I think I'm a
pretty good guy, all right, So no, because it was
behind furniture and things like that, and you know, so there.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Was no way did you move the little trinket cabinet
without a knocking everything over it very carefully.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But then we eventually took all that stuff out to
really move it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It was like disaster villain. Yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
And so you know the people that came to fix
my dining room just a few months ago, uh, the
owner of that company. We called him up and we're like, hey,
can you come take a look at this. So he
came out last night, very nice of him. Came out
last night and looked at it and was like, oh, yeah,
the carpet's going to get pulled out. We're probably gonna
have to cut all the dry wall and see how
(07:37):
high it goes up, how high the damage is. And
then obviously we got to repair that foundation issue so
that no more water comes in.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
They did like a temporary fix where they put some
plastic there, so like this batch of rain, hopefully there
won't continue to get in, but who knows.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
But this is like kind of floors underneath, Like is
it underneath the carpet, is it like a old hardwood
or I.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Didn't pull it up. I haven't pulled it up yet.
I'm assuming it's probable. Lay, I'm not really sure.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm not really sure because we we have hardwood floors
in our house, but we don't.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
We don't have carpets, so I don't know. I have
no idea. So we'll find out today, steady shady.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So this has sent my wife into a spiral, very
bad spiral, where she really doesn't understand that when you're
a homeowner, this stuff happens, Like you're going to have
house issues no matter what, even if you buy a
brand new house that's never been lived in anything before.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
At some point where and tear happens.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
And so she really is over it and like it
is spiral to her to the point of where she's like,
wants to move.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And I'm like, where would we go? Where are we
going to buy a perfect house that doesn't have any issues? Yeah? No,
she was get it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, last time I saw her, did we talked about it,
because of course I asked her about it.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Well, you know I love talking. Well, no, we're not gaslighting.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You should move, Deborah. Yeah, when did you buy this house?
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Twenty nineteen nineteen, So interest rates were a lot lower,
So if you move, you're going to do with crazier
interest rates.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
By the way, I wouldn't do it. Oh, I'm not
moving exactly. She could.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
No matter what Sky says, interest rates are going to
be double what they were in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It doesn't make sense. And he said Sky was talking
her into moving to Oregon. He said, when he heard.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
That, Debra, We're going no. But yeah, she definitely is
of the vibe of like you know when you have
a car and it hits a certain age and everything
starts to break. I got the vibe that in Deborah's mind,
that's what's happened to your house. It's hit a certain age,
and that this is just got like every day you're
(09:48):
going to find something new. So all she wants is
a brand new house to like reset the clock ticking.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
But Port does have a point about the intro.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, we also, you know, we live kind of in
not the boonies, but we live out there, you know,
in alcohol and so we have a lot of like
creatures and that really bothers her.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Oh it does.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, the like the there's so many rodents, It's crazy
the amount of rodents that we have. We have pest
control that kind of takes care of it. But like
she it really bothers her that you know, if you
hear up in the attic some like you know a
little feed and scratching them whatever. It like really bothers
her it, yes, and like she hates it, and obviously
(10:32):
I don't like it either.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
But I mean that's what we have.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Pest control and they come in and set traps and
you know, take care of business.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
And it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And we've we've paid a lot of money to have
like the whole house sealed up. All the little spots
and things like that don't matter. We still find a way.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
So I just I'm like, listen, man, uh, these are
just it's just life. This is what happens. You got
to deal with it. It sucks, you know. This is kind
of why you have insurance, not really because they're not
going to cover any of this.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's like that blows me away. Like I'm knocking on
wood right now.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Like I haven't had to use my house house insurance
and like I call my homeowners insurance exactly.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
See that's what I never had to.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Do it undermin like I have them. I'm under the
impression that they just cover everything. No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
So one of the things I discovered when all of
these leaky things and stuff are happening, if it's outside
in like say you're sprinkler breaks and it's like hitting
a wall or whatever and you get water damage. They
won't cover that. Oh outside in, inside out, They may
cover it, depending on what it is. It's such craziness,
like and I just don't understand.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
There so many clauses for them to get out of
things like, oh, well you you weren't maintaining it properly,
or this was a natural act, or there's so many clues.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Emily says that she's never had it, but she has mom.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
I can't my wedding front never.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I need one of those state mom insurance. That was
really fun.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I didn't Okay, I don't have one of those, so
I am gonna come right out of my pocket.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It sucks.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So I think the next step is old Grahama. Nancy
is moving in the main house until this thing is
taken care of. Stay well we have what are you
are you out of mind?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
You guys take the guest room.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Hey, you know some people do that, right?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
One million percent would put a mattress on the floor
for grad nacy before.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Sorry, not my parents would sleep in my bed and
not sleep in the sleep.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, no chance that's happening. Sorry, there's no chances like that.
I have a guest room, but the bed is kind
of high. Oh no, and gram is not very mobile.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Drop in there.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I suggested like a little step stool, and Debora was like, no, no,
because because what if she got to get up in
the middle of the night and the bathroom or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, they go to the bathroom a lot.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Uh yeah, I know you're getting there.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Well, you know, maybe two or three times a night.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
But that's okay, oh my sky, not really Yeah, that's insane,
actually really bad.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah, because I specifically remember last night. It was just
one time.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I was talking to doctor Sadie Allison about it when
she was in the other day.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
She was telling me.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
She's a urologist. She's not an actual doctor. Yeah. Yeah,
she was a doctor, but not a she's like a
sexaph doctor has a doctorate.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
She suggested cutting off liquids that I'm now, that's.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Your actual doctor. Why would you do that? She's googled it.
That's weird. I maybe go once a night, like once
a week. Oh lucky you and gram Nancy. You're very similar.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Uh so, Grama Nancy is going to be moving in
the main house. See how that goes, I have no idea,
no idea, but house is disaster and apparently we're moving.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's
