Although we didn't have any projects planned for this summer, sometimes the projects seem to find us! At the height of my morning/all-day sickness in May, our water heater decided to give out and leak all over the basement carpet. We quickly got that cleaned up and replaced, but I noticed a few weeks later that we had some water leaking from the main water valve coming in to the house. We realized that it had likely been leaking since I had to turn off the water to the house when the water heater leaked. Although the carpet was wet, we were fortunately able to save it and only replace the carpet pad underneath... after Dan rebuilt some of the cabinets and replaced the water valve. This took 8 weeks due to the fact that life pretty much came to a grinding halt when I got pregnant and could barely take care of myself, much less the kids or the house. House projects got put on hold as Dan just tried to keep us afloat in daily life.
We sure missed using our playroom for those 8 weeks- especially on the hot and rainy days!
But we celebrated Father's Day by finishing the project and getting everything put back together. HOORAY!!
