Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh Dana! How yuk and frustrating.
Maybe ask neighbor to pay for part of the electric bill? Probably pointless, but ya never know.

Ack, Dana! That's...gross! And infuriating. Does insurance cover stuff like the appliances?

Can't wait to see this month's electricity bill.
Dana, in CA I think that either the homeowners assn insurance or the neighbor's would have to pay for part of the electricity plus new carpet, new paint (and mold inspection) if needed and any other repairs. Check your CC&R's (if you have 'em) just in case.

Oh gawd, Dana - that's awful. Did they get rid of the smell?
Oddly, it was never really that bad. I'm sure the worst of it was at the neighbor's house.

She doesn't even like to answer her door. We've seen more of her during this little crisis than we have during the past...three years? she's lived here.

We really did need the new appliances, and the old ones weren't damaged (as far as I know). This way, we'll get to enjoy having a new dishwasher and stove for a while.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is the neighbor an idiot? Why didn't they check her lines for a blockage after the first freakin' flood? It only takes an hour or so to unseat a toilet and check for blockages in it and the line. /voice of experience.

Because her toilet was flushing, so obviously there was no problem. If it had been our house, I promise they would have been made to check, but she apparently just took their word for it.

What is even happening?
Dana, how awful. I'm sorry you're going through this. Ugh.

In all fairness, I don't think that I would have insisted that they check for blockage if the toilet was flushing.
