Update

Okay... here's the latest on our washing machine mishap. We don't know too much, but I'll tell you what we do know!
1. We have a home warranty that covers the repairs of the washer (but not the secondary damage caused by the washer)
2. We have FANTASTIC homeowners insurance (USAA--- Thank you Dad!!) and they cover all of the secondary damage caused by the washer.
3. The washer malfunction was caused by a pressure tube line that failed to tell the washer to stop filling the tub. The water (and soap) overflowing into the other cavity of the washer caused additional damage to the bearings of the wash tub that allow it to go into the spin cycle.
4. Because of the secondary damage to the washer, our homeowners insurance now covers the washing machine also.
Now... isn't that full circle?

We had a contractor come on Tuesday to check out the house and give our insurance company an estimate for the repairs needed. All I can say about those numbers is... OUCH!! And.... Praise the Lord for Homeowners Insurance! Now we just wait for the contractor to begin. Looks like the project should be all done by the end of January...

We'll keep you posted!
