To replace water-damaged flooring
Donation protected
I hate asking anyone for money. I would rather earn it. But I'm in a big bind. I hope you will be interested in the rewards I'm offering. If you can't donate, I understand. But if you can, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ♡
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:
Call me a condo virgin! I had no idea an air conditioner could leak without my knowing it. Mine did, and ruined the cocoa-colored Armstrong Kona Wood engineered interlocking hardwood in my hallway plus the floor in part of my living room and home office. A flooring guy removed it, and you could see where mold was starting to grow.
But because Armstrong no longer makes this flooring, and I haven't been able to find any, and because no other products have the same interlocking system and dimensions (let alone color), I will have to have ALL 600 square feet of my beautiful living room and dining room floor removed, even though only 80 square feet were ruined. :-(
It will cost a lot to have the rest of the living room and dining room floor removed, and to get new flooring and have that installed. Right now I'm having to be extra careful when walking around in my apartment, as the floors are uneven.
See below for photos and captions.
In the above photo, you can see the good flooring, on the left, and -- where it was removed -- the white "underlayment" and, in the foreground, the concrete floor that was under the removed underlayment. In the very bottom of the photo, you can see the light-colored flooring that is in my home office. Some of that had water under it too, and had to be removed. Fortunately, I seem to have enough extra boxes of that.
This photo looks from the living room into my home office, whose closet was also affected by water that seeped under the flooring.
This photo shows some of the hallway where the water had seeped under the dark hardwood that had to be removed. You can see a small part of the AC closet door on the left bottom corner of the photo. There was mold starting to grow on the floor, especially where the floor meets the walls.
You can see descriptions of the rewards for contributions below. To see photos of them, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/judypokras/media_set?set=a.10152096031832401.1073741836.561147400&type=1
