Burst pipes are a real pain in the you know what.

Had to rip out all wet sheet rock, repair 8 sections of burst pipes, rework electrical circuits, and then get the inspectors in, both electrical and general, to approve all before we can replace the sheet rock and paint the place.

It turns out that the manufactured home is warranty protected for 10 years, and the house is now only 4 years old. So we will go after the warranty, since the builder altered the design of the heating and hot water unit layout. The result, exposed pipes in an uninsulated attic space which is sealed off from any heat source. Bad idea.

As for insurance, we will go for the liability coverage the tenants parents have, which will cover the kids while they are in school.

So now we wait for the inspectors to allow us to complete the work. Should have all the water damage control equipment out of the house by Tomorrow.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
