drip drip, drip drop

So it's probably too premature to comment on the water issues at the casa, but I am going to anyway. I think for the most part everything is resolved. I owe my brother more than sisterly knowledge and alcohol. The thing is, he'd do it all over again. Probably not making sense with the water, but if you go to my blog on my my space page, it will make more sense. I had actually three separate water issues to contend with. First the office.... Which actually isn't my problem, but is in my office. The air conditioner is on the ceiling and the condensation hose wasn't hooked up properly, now we have a major ceiling problem and I am waiting for the ceiling to cave at any moment. The home, a copper pipe in my utility room sprung a leak, and being the weeny I am was not able to turn my water off, plus that would of course mean no water at all. So the brain child I am, used a five gallon bucket and put a large Rubbermaid tote underneath that to catch the water. The water before I realized it was such a issue, destroyed several things in my room, but nothing I couldn't live without. Every four hrs changing the water, wasn't a fun task. Jason, my bro came over and took care of the pipe. Thank god he's a plumber of a sort. The third would have been my family room in the basement had water. I thought first the window from the various hard down pours, however, after I spent numerous hours cleaning carpets I didn't have one good answer. Last night it rained hard again, and snap!!! water again in the basement. Thank god for my brother once again, (trust me the man has a halo!) It turned out the sand from my shingles caused a block in the gutters and the rain was falling over and hard in that one area my floor was wet. So Jason the saint he is, cleaned the gutters, and promises to bring over a pick up load of dirt to resettle. Long term....... probably will have to shingle the roof soon. Have I mentioned, I hate being a home owner? As of this second I am listening to the drip of water from the ceiling of my office into a trashcan. I don't think that sound will leave my head anytime soon.
I'll blog at you all later tonight
