I started off today, tired. Didn't sleep well last night then needed to wake up early to watch a friends darling daughter. Well, on Fridays we drive into Lawrence (35-40 min) for sB's Debate class. Well, luckily I had to stop by a store in our little town before leaving for Lawrence. When I got back in the van wouldn't start. So, after several tries concluded it was the "possible problem" I was supposed to watch for after the fuel pump assem. was replaced. So, luckily, my daughter was at work a block away and her car was fixed enough to be functional. So, off we trekked carseat in tow to her work and asked to borrow her car. She graciously conceded and begged a ride off a friend to get home cuz we always get home after 5:00pm. Problem averted for the most part. Although my van is sitting in front of the Dentist office in town. And don't know for how long. At least we have one working vehicle to share.
Thursday, our plumber came over to look at our two water leaks. Which both appeared to be at each bathroom location. The first leak found was easily fixed and exactly where I thought it was. The second still continues to allude us. We spent 3 1/2 hours looking for the source of the water but couln't find anything!!! As a last resort, we knew we only had one place left to look and hope it was there. Behind the wall of the shower and faucet assemblies. It of course had no access panel to it. The builders had completely walled it in. So, Lee and I proceded to rip down the portion of wall that exposed the fixture plumbing. And guess what? No Leak!!! Utter amazement and grief! That room is our guest room right now which I'm getting ready to dismantle to prepare it for our new dC. Well, now we have a gapping hole and the perfect place for mice to run into the house freely. Not to mention dJ's room which is where the leak was leaking into. She has a gapping hole in her "ceiling" with black plastic and insulation hanging. Tomorrow, I'll have to do what I can to fix that at least. A dead mouse fell in the plumbers face when he was tearing it up, hopefully there aren't any living that will fall into J's room. I did feel great about the opportunity to put a container of poison under the tub though. :)
