When we checked our email the evening of the wedding in India, we received an urgent message from our property manager that we needed to contact them and our insurance company. Imagine our surprise when we found out that our tenant had been out of the country for five months and no one had winterized the house. During a hard freeze, a water pipe in the attic burst and water free-flowed down through the master bedroom/bathroom, guest bedroom/bathroom and into the basement for over two weeks causing $85,000 in damage! In mid-March, I flew to Cary to work with the contractor to pick out all the materials for the three bathrooms. It was strange seeing straight through to our bathroom from the living room. The good news is that this gave us the opportunity to redesign the master bedroom and to upgrade to cherry cabinets and granite. It also gave me an unscheduled 10 days to see friends, go to book club and to hash.
