Well, the cancerous ceiling is gone, and I've got a new water heater, but the new ceiling is poly tarp. The doors are still taped shut, so although I can get to my fridge, I have to go out the front door and walk around the house and walk in the side door to get to it. It makes running to the fridge for a beer much less appealing.
I have no idea when they're going to get around to doing the rebuild... It is SO frustrating. I'm itching to have everyone over, but it is going to have to wait a bit longer...
