Happy St. Patrick's day

The company, working with/for the insurance have sent 2 workers to clean the basement. Very friendly and helpful people.

I shall take pictures from all and everything we have to thro away, so I can get a bit money back from the insurance. Good to know, cause there was no money back for the tinks, we throw away the first time, cause no one had told us.

I'm done SOOOOOO done!

Yesterday a storm came up and took down some metal parts from the roof. Bad, but shit happens.

Today we barely can breath in the house, the basement is flooded again. Worse than last time.

I have enough, really enough. And it's Friday 13.  usual my lucky day.
Where is my luck now?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A man from the insurance came and is working now.
He only made a little "mistake" in the beginning, he opened the door you can see in the second picture and then he jumped, cause the water came out in a flush and he was wearing sneakers.

Shove the snow

I could have taken the snow blower, but it's kinda studid, since there are only 2 possibilities in which direction to blow and anyhow, it would had piled up and I would had double the work.
So I took the big shovel and walked back and force I don't know how many times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since it's very hard to see, I made a line to where I made it, taken on eye heights sitting on the stairs.
I would say, this counts as training as well :)
Lütten was happy and so fun, playing with the ball in the snow, as if she was a puppy again. Couldn't get my cam out in time, but for sure I will remember this moment for ever ♥

Insurance

2 days ago a man came to help with the basement, to get it dry.
Today another one came to measure the whole basement and write down, what is damaged and need to be done.

Now we just have to wait, what the insurance company will say.

Maybe a positive point, the house was build in 1950 and he said, that the walls are to wet for this age. I don't even dare to hope, but maybe we will get some money to fix that problem as well.

Please, please, please let the luck be on our side for once.

So much water

We have this machine, to dry a room with and it has stopped working ----- of course, what else, as if we don't have enough problems right now.
So I got some buckets with water out of the room, literally shoveling it from the floor into the bucket.

Our farm is almost free from water now, so the hens can stay a bit longer in their coop.
But I have to fill a lot of big stones under the barn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The "circle" is the concrete that was washed out from the water and the arrows are the place, where it should be.
The worst part, there is nothing to see under the barn, that keeps it from being washed away one day maybe. 
Well, I've seen a lot of stupidity here on the farm, how they have build the house and the barn, but this is the cream on the top.

And the room in the basement, we have to take out the walls, the water line is almost 50 cm high, no possibility to save the walls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So much fun

Sewer smell

Going downstairs to let my dog out and was "greeted" by an awful smell, as if I was walking into a sewer. My alarm went off!
Opened the door and saw the farm under water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What you cant see is the water in the hens garden and the concrete, that's now missing under the barn.
So I went downstairs to the basement and the smell was cruel. The washing machine and all stood under water.
Tjorven called the insurance and they send out a guy to fix the biggest problem. He was working for hours to get the water out and he gave up with the big room, we had the first water damage weeks ago. He pumped it out three times but water was coming back faster than the pump was able to work.
Tomorrow or in two days a man from the insurance will come to take a look.
So please cross fingers for us, that we will get help this time.

I'm so done with this farm!
