Ice, It's not so Nice.

Pretty, right?  The way it encases my front porch light...

And glistens so beautifully in the day light.

The way it puddles up in my living room ceiling, and drips down the walls...

(The stain has gotten larger since this picture was taken.)

And last, but certainly not least, has turned the spare room into something completely uninhabitable.

(Hard to see, but that's the pink insulation...soaking wet)

This is what we have been dealing with for the last week.  We just discovered the spare room mess on Sunday.  We packed everything up and are storing everything at Matt's parents house.  The insurance company has been wonderful.  So great to deal with, but unfortunately, nothing can be done until we are thawed out...in how many months?  So we have no idea what the total damage will be.

Had I known that water was going to destroy parts of our house, I would not have taken those first 2 pictures, I would have gotten a hammer and destroyed them.  Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered because there was still ice caked to the whole front of the condo anyway, but it might have made me feel better.

And by the way, we are getting another winter storm today and tomorrow.  Spring...just 47ish days away.  Is that all?  :o\
