Just in case your parents aren't already aware, you may need to tear down some of that drywall and see to what extent the water may have damaged other parts of the basement.

Most homeowner's insurance policies should cover you for major expenses should you need to replace much of the finishing in the basement, however there have recently been a lot mold exclusions in policies that may not cover you for cleanup if you begin to have mold issues in the basement.

I work for a company that does nothing but represent individuals and businesses who incur a loss such as your own and we help them through the claims process. PM me if you have any questions.

the pink things were my idea (it's a side effect of the boots :P)

the dry wall is already torn down 8 inches from the floor across the whole basement (told ya my bro in law was good!)

with the carpets ripped out and about 15 fans blowing every crevase the chance of mold is significantly lowered but we have to still watch for it

thanks for the offer but we already got someone

definatly true. it's funny cause on the phone the insurance company kept saying "we dont cover for kiddy pools collapsing"

and my dads all like "number one this isn't exaclty a kiddy pool, number two the pool didn't just collapse! our backyard did!!!"

"great minds think alike"

wow... *jaw drops*

Wow Alex! Bad enough your brothers were in the pool but thanks be your little sister had just gotten out. A smaller child like that might have been in a very bad way with that much water mass moving that fast. I'm glad your parents and your religion helps you see that even during troubles, there's always blessings to be found.

CRAP!! Well any "piss off of the week" I had was swept away by that!
I'm really glad no one was seriously hurt!
I'm all about trying to find the brighter side usually.. It may a good thing it collapsed when you had the pool over the hole, otherwise, someone may have been walking along, or mowing the yard, when it collapsed!

Well MY piss off has been going on since about 2 months ago. I met someone from my city on a local herp site, who caught a native Garter and decided to keep it.

She didnt like the advice that was given to her by that site for keeping the snake.. She said it "felt like no one cared about her or her snake", and left the site. She also feels it is "somewhat abusive to keep a snake without heat" (in reference to Corn snakes, and other natives, that do fine at room temps) Which is a WHOLE nother rub on me, since I have a couple of natives, and I dont necessarily use heat..

Anyways, the snake's tail had a kink about 3-4" from the tip (WELL below the vent area) it also had retained shed around this area. She asked on the site what to do, and ppl advised her to seek a vet's care if she was concerned..
She claimed to not be able to afford the vet (Which is ANOTHER rub for me) So, the site members told her she should let the snake go if she can't afford medical care for it.

I offered to come by since she lives 2-3 blocks from me, and check out the set-up and the tail since she was "feeling like no one cared". Set up looked fine, but when she got the snake out, I dont know if she slammed the lid on the tail or if it was like that when she got it, but there was an open wound not far from the snake's kink in its tail..It really didnt seem like a major injury, or a life threatening one.. But I told her THEN to take it to the vet..

I OFFERED to take the snake to the vet MYSELF, and she refused..
So I told her how BEST to treat it then, given the circumstances..
Remove the substrate, don't soak her, and use neosporin (or other Triple antibiotic) without lidocaine... I also referred her to a few sites for 2nd opinions on home treatment...Hoping someone would convince her to take the snake to the vet. She's of course, been soaking it, has NOT removed the substrate, and has NOT been using the ointment..Not that it would help on aspen!

She posted pics of the snake FINALLY..The tail is necrotic now, and JUST NOW she has decided to let me take the snake to the vet for her while she goes in to the hospital.. The problem being, I have my own animals, a rescue, and my own bills to pay... I had the money when I offered, and NOW I really don't.
However I will figure out something..Picking the snake up sometime today :)
JUST HIGHLY FRUSTRATING!!

Oh and the clencher...She had the GALL to PM someone and suggest they take their animal to the vet!:taz:

OK.....thats my rant..And like I said, Nowhere near as bad as the sinking pool!
