Try not to laugh, DH was really nervous, but he sounds sooo dorky.

If you listen closely in the first few seconds you can hear DS protesting cause I did not want him on TV! I will tell DH how well recieved he is.

okay, that is one cute house, lady! i LOVE that your mailbox already has your name on it, it's adorable.
hang in there, things are going to get better.
gene was so funny, you can tell him (when he's in a good mood...if ever?!!!!) that the only thing that would have made his interview better would have been some new shorts, with cut off flaps. lol!!! talk to you soon - m

Dude that was so cool to see your DH and your house, I am just sad about the circumstances.

My DH is a welder and he has been making bank welding down storm grates and welding shut power boxes on light poles because of people stealing them for scrap. I think steel scrap is up to like $300 a ton where it was about $50 - $100 not that long ago. I know copper and brass are worth a lot more which is why people are stealing pipe and even copper wiring. It is amazing what people will do to others. I hope that insurance covers all of your expenses and that you get the kitchen and flooring that a domestic goddess like yourself deserves.

It's hard being interviewed on TV, you never know where to look!

It is totally devastating to see all the damage to your house. Hope everything is fixed up quickly and you get the new kitchen.

By the way-- your DH looks like a big sweetie and a nice guy! I'd never seen photo of him. Plus I didn't know he was a plumber. Sigh. I wish I was married to a plumber. Life would be sooooo much easier, but I guess I just feel burned from the time - years ago now - MY sweetie tried to replace my toilet and I ended with no toilet for a whole weekend!

Oh wow! He did a great job speaking to the news! You should be proud of him. Smiling

He did look a bit nervous, but he pulled the interview off really well. I am so sorry about your house, That damage is pretty fierce. I'm hoping that you will get your new kitchen out of this and that you guys are back in there soon. Gosh, I would have just cried seeing all that water. So sorry..

I knew it was bad but seeing it for real makes it so much more worse than i imagined! That is so crazy! Sending you guys so many vibes it hurts!!!

When you first posted, i told my DH and before i was even done with the story, he guessed it was the copper piping. I had never heard of this before but he said where he grew up it was somewhat common in vacant houses.
