Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA for several days – there’s a good story behind it, I promise!  It seems that we’re having a little bit of…er….water drama. Christian and I have managed to avoid major house melt-down for some time since our initial massive overhaul way back in the fall /winter of 2009 (we don’t miss those repeat moments of leaking ceilings in multiple rooms, flooding basements and so on).

Well, our lucky streak is over and we have learned a good lesson: concrete + pipes = BAD.

To keep it short and sweet for now: do not, I repeat, DO NOT rinse anything that has mortar or concrete in your laundry sink.  Even if you think “hey, this is just a little bit at the bottom of the pail…no bigge”.  It’s a biggie.  Don’t do it!!!!

More to come on this, (with some photos, of course), but let’s just say there is some serious upheaval happening in the basement and we are not happy campers.

Water has continued to be our #1 enemy when it comes to our happy little home. All will be fine in a few days, we’re certain, and I’ll be sure to fill you in on all the dramatic details soon!

Stay dry!
