The Waiting Game

The floor guy came by and said the floors were warped or buckled or swollen, or whatever you want to call it, due to too much moisture. He took moisture readings from many places and declared it to be too high on the floor boards. The slab is fine and so is the moisture in the air of the house, so it is apparently only the floor boards that have an issue. He says this can happen when floors are installed prior to firing up the hvac and when they are immediately covered. However, this is a rare occurrence. Hummmmm. Anyway, now we wait to see if they dry out and go down. When I asked how long we have to wait (it is expensive to not be able to move) and he said he did not know. He is checking with several "experts" about the problem to see if he is on the wrong path and should let us know in a few days what they say. In the meantime, we wait.

Those of you who know me well know that waiting is not my strongest virtue.

Regardless, Bob the Builder indicated he will take care of fixing the floors if it comes down to it, but we do need to wait.
