New Mexico - cont

So, I can't help but finish the stories I started about our initial move to this fine state. Back on to the poop water in the house. The 'dryforce' guy who smells of smoke and mold comes into our house to set up machines to dry to poop water out. He pulls up the carpet and runs wires all through our house. If any of you know Tyler you know this is not going to fly for three days so we call the property manager and tell her she needs to help us out with a hotel. It wouldn't be an issue if it were just us but we have the kids to think about. She trys to blame this all on us and say had we had the lines run it wouldn't have happened. So she refused. We had to go anyways because I couldn't be there knowing the kids were breathing the fumes in.

Anyhow, we came home to find our house 115 degrees from the heating machines placed in our room. We just finished paying off our furniture a few months ago... came home to find the candles that were on decorative plates MELTED all over our dresser. Not to mention our unity candle from our wedding ( which is irreplaceable). So our expensive dresser is ruined to this day.

Now comes the smoke. Tim and I are sitting around on our bed ( which remember is in the living room) and we start to smell smoke when the swamp cooler kicks on. We go outside and you can't see the mountain that is 1/2 a mile away. We have no idea what is going on and I get online to see what I can find and apparently smoke from a wildfire in Arizona is coming into the city. And this is bad for a number of reasons. The air quality is so bad that they say you can't go outside. So now I am stuck in the poop water house for weeks. We can't turn our swamp coolers on beacuse it just pulls the smoke into the house so the temp in our house starts to get up to 85 and UP. We have no A/C. Only this swamp cooler so we are burning up all the time. The air quality is so bad they say it can cause permanent breathing problems for children ESPECIALLY young infants. :( Welcome home Heberts.

  1. Oh my gosh, this just sounds horrible. So glad to hear that you found a better place. How was Tyler's first day at school?
