Aftermath
I just paid the final bill for the repairs to the flooded rent house. I haven't totaled up all the receipts yet, but I'm guessing that final figure is well north of $5,000.00 for the project. For this nominal sum, I was able to replace about 500 square feet of sub-floors, carpet, and vinyl. It also covered a new bathtub-shower, three interior doors, some drywall, new trim, and a dumpster to haul all the trash away. Oh, and all the plumbing (including all the faucets) were replaced too. It turns out the freeze was much worse than we originally thought. And, the final figure includes labor too; aside from some demo, I didn't do jack. I'm okay with that.That being said, I think that once I finish up finals in couple of weeks, this house is going to go up for sale. I think I've overdosed on home improvement for the foreseeable future.

Sorry to hear about the flood damage. I know how bad that can be! One more experience of rental properties to put under your belt! HOpe it goes well!
Sorry to hear about the damage. My sister had something similar happen and the bill was higher...maybe that helps, maybe not. Such is the world of home improvement.
Bet you're glad it's all done now! And as a still newbie-homeowner, may I just say that your story terrified the stuffing out of me?
ohh! Sorry to hear about your damage! I think you should calculate your estimate and budget. I hope it would be worth on your Home improvement.
Good stuff here! I like hearing your perspective on things.
Oh man! I know the frustration you must be feeling. We had a completely finished basement, or so we thought, we had a decent down poor, but nothing crazy, and our entire basement flooded!!!!!!!
I wasn't even going to try to fix it up so my wife and I just called Fortune Restoration, a premier painting and restoration company.
Anyway, good luck with everything, I'll be back to follow your progress
Good Luck!
