This is so ridiculous. Your developer will have all the details of the carpet and paint colours in your house and then you can buy them.
👍
When I moved into this house association property, we were given a folder with all the makes and models of everything, and manuals, because it was a new build. You should have been given this too. But if not, take samples from old carpet to match, and chip or photo of paint in good light. Your whole house was painted one colour, so builder should know the make and shade, and you should keep a tin on hand for touch ups anyway.
Im so glad I’m not the only one who was going crazy over this lol
Carpet is made in lot numbers even though it can technically be the same color, it’s part of a different lot so it won’t always match. It sucks honestly
@@jennifers1598, yes this is sooo true!
Jessica & Chris, I am sooo sorry this happened to you. Remember, everything happens for a reason! God bless you, your whole family, as well as this house...no more issues with anything, in Jesus name Amen!!
There’s a reason the house only took 6 months to build. Company’s who do quick builds don’t necessarily do things “the right way” they do it quick
Wasn’t it their washer hook up that cause the leak tho?
@@amberlilly1899 the washer initially but demolition is because of the toilet overflow
Yeah, you aren't wrong. I know a family whose house was all built by their design. It was 2.5 years before they could move in. It is gorgeous and thankfully they haven't had any of these issues. I am sorry for your experiences. This massively sucks.
Exactly, they are built quick and not safe .
I don't think this was really an inherent poor quality building issue though. The builders may have put in the cheapest toilets they could and those are probably more prone to clogging, but from the story it sounds like the toilet was clogged, they didn't unclog it before they went to bed and one of the kids went to use it or flush it overnight and because it was clogged it started to overflow. Usually when a toilet clogs it doesn't overflow the first time or suddenly start after its first clogged, but then will start to overflow if you flush again without removing the clog
Take lots of photos of everything, insurance companies will do anything not to pay. So photos as evidence if needed.
I will be shocked if insurance covers much of anything. Since they knew the toilet was clogged and not unclog it, they cannot claim natural damage and they cannot claim a default in the toilet. Even the toilet running won't be taken into consideration, because that is not why the toilet over flowed. I really wish them well. And of course they do live in California, where insurance frequently pays for things that they do not cover in other states. Best of luck to them...whatever they do...don't get any work done beyond what MUST be done to make the house safe to live in without contracting their insurance! The people who come in to clean up are also trying to make a buck and will replace things that insurance would never cover!
Insurance should cover neglect.
That’s why we went with a lawyer company to help us because they wouldn’t have paid for anything
Jess, I work for 84 Lumber. Whoever supplied the lumber and other materials should have a selection sheet and plans handy for your house. Even if they’ve discontinued the paint you can at least color match. They should also be able to check the lot number on the carpet sticker to match the carpet. Sounds more like laziness on their part. Reach out to your builder and the lumber supply company, they will help you!!
@@joannhempen8210 definitely! I keep customers files for up to 5 years after the house is finished and even then our vendors still keep even older records. Makes it a dream when we have any warranties.
I think it's being over dramatic
HI
When you go on vacation you should have someone watch Mowgli and Sadie so when the contractors come in and out of your house they won’t escape or get locked out.
Or sneak in to the inside of the house and get stuck inside the house!
@@Capricornqueen88 Omg yes new fear unlocked just imagine them getting boarded up in the walls 😨
My caught got stuck in our crawl space under the house thanks to a contractor not paying attention.... that was a HELL of a time trying to get her out from under the house.
She always takes Mowgli to the pet store sitters when she leaves
@@caseymariedaniels6941 that's Mango, the bearded dragon.
My husband is a mitigation tech for a restoration company. Best advice is stay👏🏼on👏🏼top👏🏼of👏🏼the👏🏼repairs👏🏼 department 👏🏼. Do not let them give you the run around for anything, they CAN match paints and carpets. I'm so sorry you're having to go through all of this😥
They can certainly match the paint, but the carpet is a different matter. If the house is actually a year old, they will have gone through many lots and won't have the same run of carpet available, BUT at least test the colors of what they are making today, because it may be so close that no one will be able to tell the difference six months after it is laid.
You can get alarms for water leaks, we installed them after we had our catastrophe happen. I think insurance companies should supply them it would save millions throughout the world.
We have them with our ring alarm system with on sensor under our kitchen sink and our sump pump
Why don’t you contact your builder that built your house? Shouldn’t they be able to tell you what everything is since they had you pick from their selections? They could tell you your carpet and paint and all fhat
If they are anything like my builder, they use the cheapest bulk product they can find and it’s often things like that aren’t restocked. And after a year, they typically are not under a warranty as the builders anymore
@@ashleyohhhh If the house is more than a year old, the contractors are not responsible for anything unless California has stronger rules than other states. But the contractor can tell them what colors were used and what carpet was used. If they had it built for themselves, then they should have picked out the colors and carpets they wanted. All builders will put in builders grade in tract homes unless the house is already sold and the buyer choses more expensive items.
imagine having this problem while broke and just having to let the carpet dry and just deal with it because doing a complete remodel is something you could never even consider lol
Yeah I know that would be so sad :(
Home insurance covers stuff like this and in order to own a home you need home owners insurance
@@Judy_R that depends on where you live. Where I live in Arizona, you have to have homeowners insurance. Here it's necessary because we have a 5+ month long fire season. Even here in Phoenix, especially near a certain recycling plant that catches fire at least once every summer. I don't know what the laws or regulations regarding insurance are in California. But there are states where you have to have it. Even if the state doesn't, your HOA could.
And just imagen filming it and complaining about it cause it's so relatable ....ohhh and getting paid for it! .....sorry gatta go I have 3 trips to go to! Hahahaha
@@Poke_Throne exactly 🤣🤣
I love how Chris is trying to find a logical solution to make you happy anyways how he can 😍
Unexpected home repairs are the WORST we’ve had three different leaks since we moved in 😭
We had three water disasters too! I'm in Washington state with a 4 year old house. It was built with tinker toys, popsicle sticks, and putty by toddlers. The art of home builds are a lost art. 🤔🙄😡
Has no-one commented on how utterly adorable Kyson was with his pose at the container - great move Kyson :D
Yea
I would replace all of the toilets, just to make sure this never happens again. And I'd definitely tell neighbors and Sunkissed Mama, so it doesn't happen to them too.
Or just unclog your toilet
@@CrispyChickenSkin they said it was running all the time, that costs a lot of extra money so they need to replace it all
@@kristengrimm7340 yeah that too. Maybe should've looked into it
She doesn’t need a new toilet. She said it runs all the time. All u have to do is replace either the chain in the tank of the cover that sits on the hole. I’ve had this issue at every house I’ve bought an I fixed it for less than $10.
Girl, check your selections sheet when you built your house! It should have brand and name of both carpet and paint!!! Mine does! I’m pretty sure we have the exact same carpet! Mine is called dwellings 800 silver birch!
Something isn’t adding up though, there is no way they can’t match light gray carpet or paint…. This is a spec home not completely custom and even then, they use a lot of the same stuff!!
(Spec as in, new build neighborhood and they give you options to pick from)
that’s what i was thinking too
Hey jess, Have you considered getting a furnished air b&b/rental house for the few months your inder renovation? I know its not ideL but maybe easier.
That has to be so hard with so many kids. You’d literally have to pack everything. Except furniture. And then her pets some landlords don’t want any animals.
also this is going into all the Holidays! So upsetting!
Might want to call your water company and get a number on how much water was actually used.
I wish you luck with all the work in the house and with the front yard. Landen carrying boxes with a broken arm. ❤️ Favorite quote from this vlog: “You speak my language.” “What, logic?” 🤣🤣 Addie ending the vlog was so cute!
Addelyn closing out the vlog is everything! She’s a natural born vlogger. Hope the home repairs will go by much more quickly than they predicted.
Why don’t you bring the camper down for extra rooms when the boys come.
I think the pod is sitting where the camper would sit
You can't live in a camper in front of the house. She would get into trouble.
@@DANNYTHEFROG123 yes she can she just needs a permit for it
They have showed their camper doesn’t fit next to their house
Don’t they have a side area they could put the camper in?
Landen really is like my broken arm won’t stop me doing anything, I’ll move boxes and jump about. He’s awesome
But doctors told him not to… it needs to heal. I hope they’re allowing it time to heal
@@emilynydam4411 oh lord can it. He’s a little boy and she’s said on multiple occasions she’s trying her hardest to teach him he needs to relax. It’s nearly impossible at that age to sit still let alone a suspected adhd kid who’s in a ton of physical activities. People really need to stop making comments like I hope they are letting it heal or you got get him to sit down. You don’t know behind the scenes and how many times she talks to him a day to tell him to relax
@@Amanda.Allison my 6 year old currently has a broken arm. Almost Exact same place as Landen but his is fractured. Happened only days after Landen’s accident. I have talked to him multiple times to calm down and why he needs to settle down. We have explained to him why on multiple occasions in the one week he’s had his full cast. So much energy at these ages. Even though he’s “hurt it doesn’t slow him down”. I wish it would just a little. Haha
You’re so blessed to be able to be financially stable enough to get everything replaced! I know so many people, including myself, that would have to have mismatched carpet and rooms. Haha!! I’m sorry you’re going through this, one step at a time!
It is covered by insurance it is a new house
@Creation Station Jess is an amazing mom. Her kids are in an amazing environment, she doesn't make them do anything they don't wanna do, guess what this CZcams helps her give and provide for her children.
Since the water was running for hours you should contact water company. It’s likely your water bill is going to be terrible.
Yea, she'll just need to show the receipt from the repair. I had this happen and they prorated my bill.
I'm so proud of you Jess. I know i don't know yall personally but you have sooooo much on your plate and you are still killing it with mom duties, youtube duties and life. Honestly. I swear id be rocking myself in a corner if everything that you've gone through lately had happened to me.
👏👏 you are AMAZING girl.
I'm so sorry for what's happening to your house I've had the same thing done to me and I hope everything works out OK. I love your family
i think it could be a good solution for the mistmatch carpet if you put wood floor at the stairs and the hallway ? so you don't need to change all the bedrooms too
edit: addie ending the vlog sooo cute!
I was thinking the same!
From personal experience it isn't a good idea to pay for it up front out of pocket. We did that on a similar situation and didn't get all our money back because our home warranty had price limits on fixtures, carpet padding, molding. Just check with your home warranty.
Here in Canada we just call up our insurance, pay our deductible and they do everything. We had a dishwasher leak and they took out our floors, dried it up and put up new floors. Took couple months from start to finish and it was only a 600 sq ft main floor. They don't cover fixing of dishwasher just the damaged the leak caused.
Here’s a suggestion about notifying the insurance. Send them a certified letter in the US mail. This will get the insurance companies attention faster.
Chris called the insurance company in the vlog before this
You don't want to pass them off lol 😆
didn't you guys have a plumbing issue a few months ago ? y'all should get someone who's totally separate from the building company to look at it, i've heard that a lot of companies that build neighborhoods like yours cut a LOT of corners.
that aside, i totally sympathize with y'all. we had a huge mold problem from a broken pipe a few years ago, got ripped off by the remediation company, and still have some mold in the garage. i hope you guys have an easier time and actually have a good company !!
Research an ozone mashine . It will kill mold.
@@kiimmig2293 my uncle bought one once -- i had to talk him out of it because they're actually incredibly dangerous !! the epa warns against using them for a whole host of health reasons.
@@axelotls_ FACTS!! My husband uses one on occasion for his work. He brought one home once for a job and I was near it for less then 2 mins and I literally had my breath taken from me and damn near passed out from the crap it puts out. 😬
axel I’ve been using them for over 20 years. You have to research/educate yourself, as with anything.
Ozone is actually a natural way to clean.
Imagine if because Fire was extremely dangerous the human race decided against it?
Things we use that can be dangerous.
Water
Electricity
Gasoline
Spray paint
Guns
Tylenol
Aspirin
Bleach
Rubbing alcohol
Prescription drugs.
Automobiles
Insecticides
Weed killer
Dry ice
This list is huge.
Did you know that in the UK ozone therapy is used regularly in the medical industry it’s amazing for wound treatment.
I see warnings on 5 gallon buckets, I have hoards of them and not one death.
Warnings are most definitely needed, they don’t say not to use them .
The toxic chemicals they spray on the home after a home has water damage are extremely poisonous and don’t go away. They linger for you to breathe a very long time.
Ozone is an unstable and dissipates in 20 minutes.
My mother used the toxic chemical spray method, she died of cancer and my youngest sister has a brain tumor. Imagine that?
You're very right. They toss those houses up so fast it usually causes problem after problem. My husband has heard horror stories. He is a plumber, he does high end new homes or remodels. He has done Bill Belichick's Hingham MA house. So different type of building all together...I hope this is the last major plumbing issue Jessfam has to deal with.
We had a house fire in June and they haven’t even started the repairs or the demo yet. It’s insane. Due to covid and the materials shortage it’s been a nightmare.
Shortages on E V E R Y T H I N G after Covid
yes i had a fire last nov of 2020 and they are still working on the re build it be a year until it completed
@@Kmini408 ours was isolated to the master bedroom (thankfully I closed the doors that day, so the lack of oxygen prevented the fire from spreading.) so it really burned badly but just in that one room. So I thought the 4-6 week repair timeline they gave us was easy to believe. They haven’t even started yet, still! So frustrating 😭😭
They have to repaint the upstairs. It's paid for by insurance. I had a leak and mold from my neighbor s Wall heater. It took about 3 months to get back to normal. All floors baseboards and paint will be replaced
Oh Jess I’m so sorry, but you’re positivity will always shine through no matter what the situation. You guys have got this! All of us are supporting you 100% of the way ♥️
Have you thought of putting the twins’ mattress under Landen and Addie’s loft beds for more sleeping spots?
I feel for you all. Make sure you take pictures and save the pictures. We are dealing with things from Hurricane Ida that hit where we live. To much goes on at one time. Stay strong for your kids. Love your family.
Can we talk about how calm Jess explains everything! It's too much work and hassle but we love just how good she's handling this. Keep pushin' 😊👍🏻
Jess doing the stressed mama pacing in the backyard is so me 😂 I’m so sorry, I know this is going to be a hard time. We had a water leak from our washer and we had mold, so we had to strip all our dry wall and replace all of our floors. We stayed in a hotel room for 2 months, with a 1 year old. It was not fun.
off topic but i am so proud of you like the gal is not only juggling motherly activities but still creates content for us whilst having all these struggles 😭😂😂
It’s her income so she has to
Yes she is amazing! CZcams is A lot of these vlogging moms income and they still take off, even for months, but Jessica is truly committed, not only to CZcams but her fans, she truly is the vlogging queen. Even like on trips that she doesn’t need to vlog, so many of the other vlog moms don’t and Jessica does.
@@thisisns1122 true
@@emilysnyder2220 of course it’s her income and she has specific business targets to meet but that can easily become over whelming, considering she has a lot of daily activities and now on top of that house problems, taking a break from work happens and yet she stays committed and is just amazing when it comes to creating content whilst balancing all these extra tasks. It’s inspiring considering i take a break when anything minor happens ahaha🤣
@@taylajade1737 People do it every day with full-time jobs who can’t just take time off like you say she can
So sorry your house is going through this. Maybe do hardwood floors everywhere else you have the carpet
I am so very sorry that this happened to you. The toilet where I live was making that running water sound too. We got someone to fix it and they said something was stuck in the toilet pipes. Everything is much better now. I know that things will get better for you and your family. Love and blessings. ❤️
I much prefer Christmas Jess. I absolutely love autumn though. And decorating house with Autumn items. Hope everything gets sorted out asap for you lovely lady. 😍
But couldn't you just contact the company who painted and put the carpet in your house in the first place for the exact colours?
👍
That would be ideal, however we’re being told things constantly get discontinued. We are giving the product list to the contractor and crossing our fingers 😣
Be careful when they ask you to do updates. Insurance will only replace what was damaged or like kind. Any upgrades would be out of your pocket.
Loved the song at the end. Good luck with everything. I feel your frustration and admire your tenacity in providing as normal as possible a daily routine for your family to live with during your house rehab.
You have to understand that the workers have more then just your rooms to fix. They are busy, you cant judge them for being slow if you dont have experience in the actual job itself.
But didn’t u know the world revolves around her and what she needs not like she doesn’t have the money to move out she goes to Disney enough think of all the extra click bait content she will have now that will cover it
@@rainbowmummabeardoinglife6741 True enough
So if the half of the house needs to be done , do you think you & your family should just get a rented house until they're done ?
I was thinking that. I'm also thinking an investment property, if they can afford it - live in it for the duration of the work and then either rent it out privately or on Airbnb. I realise that not everybody can afford to do that, though. So, maybe renting is a good move until it gets done, if they can't get it all done quickly.
Renting a house in California can be like 5,000 a month though especially with how much room they’d need, which could be reimbursed through insurance, but they’ll need to get their approval.
@@melisa8256 they have season passes
I love Addie vlogging, she did better than I would! I also really appreciate your attitude during a big struggle like this. You’re teaching your kids how to deal in a really healthy way. And I can see it comes from your Mom!
Jess saying “ Ummm yeah!” Should be a GIF 😂
Get more than one opinion! This company sounds like a scam to me. They're trying to make you fix things that don’t need to be fixed because it makes them more money.
I also was thinking exactly the same.😮
same here best to get more than one opinion on these I think
The other vlog she got upset at Chris for signing papers without reading everything. They’re locked in now.
It's not the builders fault you ignored a clogged toilet. It's not the toilets fault you ignored the clog. It's all the adults in your house that ignored it. You mentioned in your last vlog that you knew it was clogged, and you went on with your night and did the podcast ect. Knowing it was clogged, and then went to bed. Please always unclog a toilet.. it's no big deal to go downstairs and grab the plunger from your other bathroom and unclog it. Kids don't have the know how to not use a particular toilet over night because you knowingly left it clogged up. May this be a lesson learned. 🙏🙏🙏
Watching this video and all the chaos going on and this girl brings up Hello Fresh. I asked myself this girl is not going to drop an ad. 😂 The hustle never stops.
At least you can start on it while you wait for insurance. I had a roof leak last year resulting in water damage to our living room wall and the upstairs bedroom wall. We didn't catch it right away, so the damage was extensive and we only realized there was a problem when we started smelling mold. The house was deemed uninhabitable and we had to go to a hotel. Insurance said no one could so much as look at it until the adjuster came out or they wouldn't cover a cent. It took them A MONTH just to get the adjuster out to assess it. It was 2 1/2 months total that we were in a hotel, and at the end of it all, insurance refused to pay for the hotel 🥴
Jess I love how you got him to say , hey let's just decorate the backyard,.......I do that stuff all the time
Halloween and Christmas are my holidays
My to-do list during break week at uni: revise for the tests next week, watching some C-dramas, and keeping up with JesssFam
Me looking for the “it still leaks Charlie” spray paint on the floor when Jess showed the area where the builders messed up 🤣
For the paint if it’s eggshell, satin, semigloss, or gloss the entire wall has to be repainted if part of it gets messed up. You can’t blend the paints you will have a clear line where the paints overlap even if it’s the same color so that’s probably why there talking about repainting. Also I’m so sorry y’all are going through this and I hope they can get it done ASAP 🥺🥰
I hope this problem gets fixed as soon as possible!!!! Also l Love Christmas better then Halloween (don’t get mad Jesssfam)
I hope the builders pay you all the costs back, maybe get the whole house price back, I’m not sure of American laws in this matter, love watching you all,sorry this has happened.
Home owners insurance
I'm so sorry you're going through this. You're family has been through so much this past year.
We once lived a week in our living room cause they had to rip out the carpet upstairs in all rooms as I was very allergic to it. It was funny as a kid but looking back I think my parents didn’t have a fun time lol
I am praying that you can get your house fixed as quickly as possible. Love you Jess ❤️💗💕
I love the longer vlogs!! I don't watch any TV or movies or shows, just a select few of CZcams vloggers and I enjoy passing time with longer videos!! ♥️♥️😍
It is so crazy to see how big Halloween is in the US compared to Australia it really isn’t a big thing over here :)
Same in England . We do trick or treating but there no parades or anything
That’s sad.. I love Halloween
@@ali_zia1449 I’ve never even gone trick or treating I’ve only celebrated when we went to Disneyland and went to the Halloween party
We're in NZ. Wanted to decorate the house like crazy this year (making memories for our kids) but it's so hard to even find Halloween decor ☹
Yeah, we don't even do trick or treating. We watch the scary movies together on Netflix that's it.
Girl! I’ve had a friend that this happened to 6 months ago. She paid the contractors before insurance approved it and she only got 50% back from her insurance. They totally screwed her and basically told her, you signed a contract with insurance approval. I would be careful when dealing with insurance. If you’ve already paid it, they have no reason to.
I understand this my whole family had to move downstairs of my house which has no kitchen basically live in our garage while we got building work done! We have to use our laundry as our kitchen with no oven or stove and have to deal. with all of the loud building work.
House is literally falling down all around her, Jess still finds time to film an ad for hello fresh 😂
What if you just did hard wood on the stairs, hall, and then put the closest match of carpet you can in the kids rooms? With the wood separating it then it won’t be as noticeable.
im sure the carpet upstairs helps with noise reduction
Yes! I was thinking hardwood floors throughout and then use rugs in the winter. Honestly, I really don't like carpet, especially during the summer months, as it just so darn hot where I am! I'm thankful for them during the winter months, though, as they keep my tooties warm.
I absolutely LOVE my hardwood floors. We have hardwood floors throughout the house. Except in the bedroom we have carpet. I highly recommend hardwood floors to anyone! So easy to clean with kids and a dog.
This happened to my entire first floor the day after Christmas. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. It took until March to get everything finished. We ended up borrowing money from my parents to pay out of pocket because it would have been another month. Everything happens for a reason so hopefully something magical comes of this. Good luck!!
*basically a big giant hot box*
"Omggg this is so cool"
Ohhh to be a kid again. I love it!
You said that you had been having problems with the toilet sounding like it was filling up, but nobody using it. If that's the case, even if the toilet was clogged (and a little over flowed), if that toilet "filled" all the time, no wonder it did so much damage. I know with clogged toilets I have had, sometimes the water comes right to the top and teases you, but doesn't overflow since it's not "running". Hope this makes sense. Definitely research new toilets and replace them ! You might also think of water alarms. Price varies but might be a good investment. So sorry this happened. 🤗🤗
I LOVED the longer vlog! I always get so sad when your videos end and i feel like they are so short but this one was perfect! ❤️
Addie did such a good job vlogging, she’s so expressive! And with an outro and everything, love it 😂
god Jessica, I am SOO sorry this happened to you! But I also admire how you handle this situation and other unfortunate circumstances in life, I would literally lose my freaking mind 🤯 I seriously need to learn from you
Everyone needs themselves a Chris supporting the decorating!
I went through this 5 years ago. We had to have our kitchen gutted immediately To prevent mold and had a crappy temporary kitchen thrown together. The best thing we did was hire an independent insurance broker to fight our insurance company for us. I think we would’ve gotten a lot Less money if we had tried to deal with them on our own. It took 18 months to finally get a check and almost 2 years from the time of the flood to get our kitchen back, but it was worth it in the end. Also have your contractor save any fixtures that you think might be faulty. You might need to have an outside person inspect them, for the insurance adjusters report. Good luck, I know this sucks but you guys will get through it.
Addie closing the vlog is the cutest thing ever! Love you guys.
Addie showing us upstairs and ending the vlog was so adorable. I'm still smiling.
I've always been obsessed with Christmas 🎄! But now that I'm a new mom, decorating will be so much fun!!!
Awww Addie's sweet baby voice is going away she's growing up so fast on all of us 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️✨✨ we love you sweet Addie 🌺🌺🌺
This is reminding me of when we had to redo our kitchen… i was in grade 6 and we discovered right before the school holidays that the dishwasher had been leaking under the floor of the kitchen and so everything had to be replaced. We were already going to be travelling for my grandmother’s funeral so instead of going on a few days trip we went on a big two week or more road trip while the builders were fixing our kitchen… of course that was almost 20 years ago and in Australia plus i think you guys have way more damage.
several years ago we had the main kids bathroom and the laundry room leak. the entire ceiling from the front door into the kitchen had to be completely taken out, the carpet upstairs had to be taken out. The company our insurance sent out over took forever to actually finish the job. At the time we also had foster kids living with us. we ended up having a make shift bedroom for all the kids in the basement. If you are going to be in construction zone for several months I would look into booking an air b&b near by so you don't have to sleep in construction zone. Your insurance probably would cover the cost of the air b&b as well depending on your policy.
you guys are so lucky it wasn’t worst! My house flooded when Covid first started it flooded out who use downstairs with a foot of water, we had to get a whole new downstairs flooring we had to repaint our whole house and while that was happening we stayed in a hotel for 2 months but as they were finishing the guy that was doing our floor started a fire in our trashcan outside, it took a whole other month to get a new trashcan, we also had to get whole new furniture for the whole downstairs and we had to get a new dishwasher:/
Halloween, by far, is my favorite. I've had teachers comment about how happy I was yesterday. I was jamming out to Halloween music and had all my Halloween clothes and makeup on 🤣
Your so resilient idk how u do half the stuff you do!!
The way you change hand automatically when your walking up and down recording🤣🤣gotta love it😂
Love you Jess ! Hope the best for all the repairs. Much love from Maui Hawaii ❤️
I work at a dog boarding facility, we recently had a dog boarding with us for 3 1/2 months because his home was flooded and parents had to stay in an air bnb! Hoping this gets resolved as quickly as possible for you guys tho! Sending good vibes
I'm so sorry this happened to you. Renovating is soooo stressful. Sending courage your way.
I knew they'd tear up this house the minute they bought it
Really do no recommend paying out of pocket, I did that with my car during a hit and run and they agreed to reimburse me and then tried to dispute later on. Unless you are willing to risk insurance later going back on there word I’d really stick to having them accept the claim first. Often contractors and mechanics etc rush you to pay because they just want to get paid and they know it takes awhile for insurance to pay them😩
Well considering they have to live their for the rest of their lives I am sure she don't care either way she juat wants it fixed so if the insurance is not going to pay then she would do it anyway
@@caseymariedaniels6941 well I get that, but 30k is a lot of money.
Go after your builder for the damage. They should be paying for this.
@@Judy_R she never said that
Man that really sucks. I’m so sorry for this happening. I feel your pain. Our kitchen sink backed up while I was showering and flooded the entire kitchen and dining room and because we had hardwood floors it soaked all the way to the living room. It took MONTHS to get just the new flooring in and have it installed. We lived in a construction zone and it sucked so much.
So sorry for what your going thru Jess. I’m sure this is content you didn’t want for the vlog. Addie at the end so ADORABLE!! Loads of love Leisa Western Australia xx
Target $ section has some cute pumpkin-y/fall stuff this year. My house is COVERED in festive pumpkins. I also got crafty and made a wreath.
Always deal with the small issue before it becomes a bigger one. I learned this when our toilet did the same thing. Ugh!! I feel for you.
I can 100% relate to what you are going through with your home! 😱🙊 My fiancé, Hendrix (our Frenchie puppy), and I were planning on being in Chicago for ten days to celebrate his mom’s birthday on June 1st. We drove from AZ to Chicago and fifty miles outside of the city, we got in a car accident. The car was supposed to be fixed July 17th, and a day before that date, we get a call saying that our car is actually totaled. It took another month to get things sorted with the adjuster and by the time we found and purchased a new car, we didn’t arrive home until a week and a half ago! The entire ordeal took four months and a plethora of unforeseen expenses that insurance didn’t cover (in addition to everything that we were reimbursed for)… So whether it’s dealing with home insurance or car insurance, it is an expensive, lengthy, and drawn out process at the moment. 💔 The best advice I can give you for starting this endeavor is to prepare for the worst, but hope for the best, and make the most out of each and every moment that you have with your loved ones along the way. 💗 I hope that your home gets repaired quickly and that the insurance process goes much more smoothly for Chris and you than it did for Martin and I. 💕🙏🏼😘
Addie’s outro is possibly the cutest thing ever 😍
What about a rental? Living through a renovation is too much. I can’t even, bless you.
I was going to suggest this. Insurance should pay for loss of use too
I'm surprised that you didn't bring your camper to the house for your mom and dad to stay in. Landon is an amazing lil dude. To jump at the opportunity to help his Mama carry out boxes to the pod and the only boy who volunteered and he has a broken arm. He's the man God bless him and your family, Love from Maine.
I don’t think they are allowed to keep it there. I think they live in an HOA and can only keep it there for a max of three days.
I thought they sold it when they moved to this house.
@@teresanorris4769 they went camping in it about a month ago.
@@Smegal3750 I guess she didn’t vlog about that. I remember about a year ago her saying they were selling it. I guess they didn’t.
CA won't allow it. They are really cracking down on illegal camping. I don't live that far from Jess. It has to be at a campsite.
I’m a month behind in Jessica’s Videos. When she said “nothing is going to stop me from enjoying my favorite holiday.” 😬😬😬
Addy closing the vlog was the cutest thing ever 💙
