The Flood !!

Imagine our surprise when we walked into the kitchen on Tuesday morning and hear "squish". Turns out the ice maker hose had been leaking down the wall and under the floor for about 3 weeks (since it was installed). The water covered about 1/2 of the square footage of our 1st floor and saturated the sub floor and the plywood underneath our floor. Yuck!!! Demolition started last week and here are some pictures of the current state of affairs. Our entire 1st floor is unusable so we are living out of the upstairs and eating out a lot. We're sending 3 emails so you can see a few pictures as they're large files. After this, the rebuilding can begin - any suggestions on what to put in as far as floor coverings for living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, hall, bathroom?
