 Now that is a proper start to any morning a smiley-faced bacon With three eyes the best kind And we got oh, it's gone already. Oh, yeah, we're making waffles over here office in that It's gonna be great And then I got to get take the truck to get serviced. We're gonna go into the walk-in clinic real quick Just to fill up some prescriptions and Then after that Come on back home for a bit and I've got to leave tonight towards Chicago Chick-a-go Yeah That looks delicious Hey guys So we're back on the truck here and Pembina, North Dakota We didn't get very far today, and I didn't vlog at all today either today was a little bit of a Stressful day my head was sort of in the air all day my sister my oldest sister was involved in a head-on collision on a two-lane road on our way home from work today and It happened What 530 in the afternoon and we the longest time we didn't know what was going on We knew that the ambulance had come there to get her and they were treating her in the ambulance and We got very fortunate and she got very lucky that She had no serious injuries. Thankfully, but I waited at home until we knew what was going on and how bad it was and then She got moved to the hospital the nearest hospital and I went down there to see her yet before I went to work and She got very lucky at a guardian angel watching over her. She only had scrapes and bruises a sprained ankle and Her car is totaled But she she got off a lot luckier than the other people in the accident the other people Who hit her who swerved into her lane and hit her head on were transported to Winnipeg Hospital by stars Helicopter ambulance. I don't if you call them ambulances or got transported from the accident scene to the hospital by a helicopter So they were in a lot Worse condition, but we did find out later on that both the occupants of the other vehicle are okay There was a mother and her teenage son and the teenage son just had some scrapes and bruises and the mother was in worse condition with Several broken bones, but she's gonna be okay, too So I didn't get very far today just over the border a little bit of a head start for tomorrow and I'm running behind now but that's okay because Circumstances We're a little different. I mean if it would have been worse than it was now wouldn't even have left out of just Left a message called in and said sorry someone else take it It sort of puts in just perspective again when stuff like this happens how fragile life is now How quickly you can be snuffed out. Thank God no light lives were snuffed out in this incident. It's just Our heads were just spinning Brittonite our heads and on top of all this yet We have a water issue in our house that we realized right around the same time when this accident happened just before We got the call that she had been involved in a head-on collision we had realized that our roof was leaking everywhere in the house and We've got some serious problems with our roof and we're gonna have to redo our whole roof come spring and summer and That's rip off all the shingles rip off all the sheeting underneath the shingles They have old style sheeting because the house itself is really old and there's one by force What they used for sheeting underneath the shingles We need to rip all of those off and put newer, you know four by eight foot OSB board sheeting on there and re-shingle it again because The roof the way it's designed The snow piles on top of it and then it melts from the bottom because the attic is a little bit too warm We have that's another problem. We're dealing with right now, and then it melts The snow the bottom of the snow and then it pools up Right where the the the house meets our Eve from the the porch in the front It has a different pitch and it meets there and the ice gathers up in there And it it melts on warm days and then on cold days It freezes and it pushes up underneath the shingles and then on another warm day It melts and it's coming through the holes The house has been re-shingled so many times in its lifetime that there's holes everywhere through all these one by four sheeting and The water is leaking in through these holes into our attic Through all of our insulation through the drywall on the roof into our house in all kinds of different spots and the most infuriating part of this is I went up and checked it today and The previous owners who sold us this house We have it on paper actually have all the lawyers papers going to be calling our lawyers tomorrow they have it on Paper saying that they did not that they signed that there was not not to their knowledge Or how do I say this to their knowledge? There was no leakage in the roof and they signed a legal document Yet when I went up there to check on it right underneath where the the water was leaking Somebody who lived there before us had put plastic trays or little basins underneath there to collect the water That dripped through the roof so it wouldn't go into the insulation into the house So they knew That roof leaked and they tried to hide it from us when we bought the house by putting these plastic trays Underneath there to collect the water for long enough that we wouldn't realize that the roof was leaking the Thing is we hired a home inspector and paid him what several hundred dollars to go in and inspect this house And climb up in the attic to make sure things like this weren't going on and he approved the house And he passed the house with a full inspection And now we're dealing with this problem So I'm gonna talk to my lawyers tomorrow to see what we can do because they sold the house and it's clear that they knew that there was Leaks in the roof that they even put and put put rain water collector basins in there in the attic They knew about this and If the lawyers can't do anything which I hope they can then we got to talk to our home insurance and It's gonna be a really big expensive job And we might have to move into like our little cabin guest house thingy for a while So that we can tear apart this house because now that there's moisture up there And we know that there's been moisture for a while There's a good chance that there's mold and if there's mold up there It's an even bigger project because we're gonna have to aside from changing the whole roof The sheeting and the shingles we're gonna have to scrape out all of the insulation and Reinsulate our attic and then who knows if the if the moisture is probably trickled down in the walls We could have mold in our walls And this is what we were just coming to grips with when we got this phone call that my sister was involved in the head-on collision And obviously that took priority. I don't care about my house When it's in comparison to my sister's life Like sure my house is an investment, but it's a material thing it Material things they come and they go My sister I have two sisters But this particular sister I've only got one of them There's only one rose and So we dropped everything with the house and started focusing on that and worrying about her and thank God she was okay and Man so this is my vlog for you today just sort of Recapping for you everything that had gone on through this day, and I've still got to go to work We're going to Chicago then we're going to Ontario that we're going home Oh Boy and it's going to be a very interesting summer so Like I said, we're just spitballing ideas right now about what we're going to do we're going to have to gut the whole house probably and We're going to move into the our little cabin Got to do some renovations on that first, but that's a smaller cabin easier to renovate, right? So we'll renovate that get that ready for us to live in it actually we might actually have to live in it for a couple of years While we completely gut the house because I don't want to go into big debt and do it all at once I just sort of want to fix it as we can right so I'd rather Live in our little cabin for a while fix the house And not have to take out these big loans if we don't have to and just take our time getting it done I don't know. I don't know my mind is just spinning right now, and that's just Spitballing just throwing out ideas of what I think Because honestly, I don't know what's gonna happen. I've never had a house that leaks like this before I've never had such a huge project like this just thrown on me It's an old place. Yeah, and we're kind of scared We're kind of worried because insurance usually says with water damage from the roof leaking They usually say oh, that's just regular wear and tear and the insurance companies don't want to pay out to help you out, right? so there's a good chance insurance won't even cover it and We're gonna do it. We're gonna do it. I don't know. We'll do it. We'll fix it Well, it'll just be over time. We're very fortunate that we have other structures that we can live in on our property So we don't even have to leave our property We still have our garage We don't have to live in the garage though, but we have the cabin And I think that that will be our saving grace We also have the camper, you know, but that you can't live in it through the winter. Oh See my head is just spinning but We're here in Pembina, North Dakota Right here just parked at the back of the lot just got across the border really Just barely into North Dakota, United States of America And I'm gonna go back there with the weasel. I'm gonna clean up the whole floor set up the truck And I just threw everything in here and just took off because I was running behind her So tomorrow we'll make a regular vlog starting from here and see how far we get we got to get to probably around Madison, Wisconsin I'm hoping I can make it to like beloy But we'll see So sorry there wasn't a regular vlog for you. I hope that You guys had a better day than I did and I definitely hope you had a better day than my sister did today I hope you guys are all safe and Just once again, I've said it many times before of value your loved ones Between you know Brits Brits dad was in the hospital not too long ago Now my sister was in the hospital, but you know Silver lining to the cloud or whatever you want to say a positive note She got to go home for nights I she didn't even have to stay in the hospital overnight, which is amazing a head-on collision And she didn't even have to spend the night and one night in the hospital You know, you don't thank God for our Canadian health care so that when accidents like this happen It takes that whole stress off your mind, you know She can go to the hospital. She can get fixed up and you don't have to worry about that bill at the end of it Yes, we do still have to pay for it But you get what I mean Everybody chips in a little so that when you have a loved one in need They can get the health care they need in their moment of need It's not a perfect system. It's not but it It helps a lot My camera cut out on me there, and I And they're just going to bed. No, you know what not dealing with this right now So it's a few days lighter. I'm just putting this together right now and going over this footage and adding those Pictures of the crash over on top of this here now There's a few more that I got just this evening that I'm filming this I didn't have all the pictures or all the details right away as that was the night it happened And she was still in the hospital when I was talking to you there. I did get to go visit her though I'm not sure if I mentioned that or not, but I did get to go visit her in the hospital and She was doing fine and a few days later now. She's got a really swollen ankle Hair in my eye She's got a really swollen ankle and a Few Damaged ligaments. I think that's what they said she had gone to her physiotherapist or when they took a bunch more x-rays and Looked a lot deeper into it I guess to make sure that there's no other injuries that they didn't know about and It's it's gonna be a bit of a road to recovery for her, but Considering you saw the the state of that car, right if if you don't remember from the beginning of the vlog Maybe I'll put it up on top of it right now again, and it's amazing that anyone would have walked away from that Alive never mind just just a sprained ankle with some damaged ligaments I know I mentioned already before that the other people were flown to the hospital via helicopter and We've heard also that they're doing better That they lived that they were okay a little bit more banged up than my sister, but They probably didn't have the safety systems also in their vehicle that my sister did and All of the airbags deployed except for the ones on the passenger side They go along the window there because there was no one in that seat and she got hit on the driver's side sort of And all of the airbags including an airbag by her feet that she didn't even know existed That's probably what saved her from getting more damage to her feet But those airbags deployed all around her and saved her kept her right in place So that's a Toyota Corolla if you're wondering what kind of car that is and you know 10-star safety rating For me and my family right now and especially my sister I think because all of those airbags and safety systems and the design of the car really saved her life thankful to have her around still and thankful that it wasn't worse So I'm gonna end this video here right now not much of a video today tomorrow will be a little bit better We're headed on down to Chicago.
