What a Mess!!!




This past week has been kind of crazy around our house and we're slowly getting it put back together. Stephen's been quite adventurous in trying to figure out how to rewire some electrical outlets and cables so we could hook up our new t.v. I would have to admit I didn't think he could really do it and was nervous when he started punching 3 or 4 holes into the wall. (Thank goodness the holes were in our pantry where if he messed up, it wouldn't matter too much.) But with a few trips to Lowe's and few hours later, I was pretty impressed at his skills. While I was helping him run some wire, I felt some drops of water on my shoulder. At first, I was quite puzzled and couldn't figure out what it was. Then we realized it was coming from our ceiling and we had some sort of leak! Being new home owners we started to panic a little. We couldn't figure out what or where it was from other than being directly underneath our water heater. We rushed to get a bucket and turned off the water main, since it was too late to call someone. An hour later, about 3 feet further into the room it started leaking again. At this point it was almost midnight and we were really tired and nervous as to what would happen during the night. The leaks were getting closer and closer to our piano. We were grateful to wake up to no more leaking in the morning and had someone come look at it. They ended up ripping a hole in our ceiling and ruining the wall that I had just painted a few weeks ago. I'm just glad our house is still under warranty from the builder this first year. Here's a few pictures of just how crazy it's been!
