POTD 38/365 Darn














This is not a good thing. I was planning to paint the laundry room a pretty shade of blue next weekend. Now it looks like we'll be patching the wall first.

For a couple of days we've noticed water on the floor in the breakfast room. Before there was too much I thought maybe one of the cats had thrown up. That was wishful thinking. It was definitely water.

Then I noticed it on the laundry room floor too. Uh oh. Well, it has been raining, so we were hoping it was the roof. Most people wouldn't hope for the roof to be leaking, but it's a lot easier to fix the roof than it is to rip out the walls and fix leaky pipes. We've had to do that before and it was awful.

Anyway, the wall was torn out and it wasn't the pipes. Darn. Because it also wasn't the roof. Double darn. It turns out we need a new water heater. It is on the other side of our laundry room closet in the garage. It's leaking into the house, not the garage.

This week between MJ and my little Wubie's birthdays, going to Disneyland on Tuesday and Thursday for those birthdays and me taking year book photos for the classroom year book page, we'll be getting a new water heater.

It's going to be a long week.
