Another Flood

Well it won't be too hard to move into the new house if we stay here much longer--we may have nothing left to move!  Two floods in 3 months while living in this rental.  This time it wasn't the garage, but the basement.  We've been having plumbing problems and the landlord was here trying to fix them when a pipe sprung a leak.  What a pain in the you know what.  There is an air leak in the system (which means the water pressure was pitifully low and the water would cut off while we were showering).  It also made us have to run dishes through the dishwasher 2-3 times. 

Thank goodness it wasn't worse than it was.  So I had to unpack boxes.  AGAIN.  Now I have to get more boxes again, spend time recovering my poor back again.  I couldn't reach Jeff on the phone to come home and help me, so I either had to let the water further seep into the boxes, or move them out of the flooded room and epmpty the contents and dry them off.  What a mess. 

On a positive note our carpenter is able to start the kitchen work in the middle of September rather than later.  Yes this is good news.  While Jeff was comparison shopping he picked up other jobs so he couldn't start Aug. 1 like we had planned.  I can't wait to get the heck outta here!
