Did you ever go back to a movie you hated as a kid and find out it was actually fun the whole time? I totally get this because I used to rant about how bad Batman and Robin was for years, like it was some personal insult to me. Then a buddy put it on during a party and we all just laughed at how over the top everything was, the freeze puns, the crazy neon, Uma Thurman chewing every bit of scenery. Once I stopped holding it up next to the dark serious Batman movies, it became this weird little comedy that I honestly look forward to now. It is wild how much your mood and what you expect going in can change the whole thing.

Oh man, that is such a tricky spot to be in! I actually read a thing a while back about how insurance handles this stuff, and they factor in the age of the floor, like they subtract for wear and tear instead of paying full price for brand new floors. So a 12 year old floor is not worth the same as a new one, and you shouldn't have to pay to make her floors better than they were before. Maybe split it based on what her floors were actually worth, not the full sanding bill.
