Oh yeah we will buy a brand new one from an area here that was not flooded. It would be difficult to try to sell an rv that flooded. They are supposed to come get ours today. I hope they can get it out of there. All the slides are out so is the awning and the batteries are dead so they don't work to pull them back in. I explained that to them. My husband's company owner surprised us with a bonus check to help out. Very nice, husband has worked for him for 20 years. Good people. We found out that all the new electrical wiring that we had done last year must all be replaced and the entire electrical panel must be replaced too. Mucho money! They are trying to run dehumidifiers and dry out fans but they are tripping breakers. Water and electric do not mix well.

If you’re going with laminate tops, I’d got with a dark laminate and white cabinets.

I don't mind you cabinets at all, it's the backsplash that needs to go. Something simple, with some texture but NOT mosaic pattern ;) As for lights, these are the best...canless led downlight. They look like can lights but just clip to your drywall. Your electrician will drill a 4" or 6-in hole in your ceiling, add the extra wiring and clip these lights in. Super quick and easy. Looks awesome. *I just pulled a random image from the internet. Talk to your electrician about the best brand to use.
