Toilet Overflows!

My life has not been boring over the past week! We arrived home to the overflowing of the upstairs toilet last week! Sarah hadn't noticed that the water was rising, and went to her room, and we were away for the night! Nicholas noticed the problem when he told Rachel "Isn't that a nice waterfalls coming down the stairs??"

Well, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because after arriving home from our weekend away, thinking that we had dried up the water before we left, the house was extremely smelly!!! Mould was setting in - the underpadding was still wet, as it turned out!

The insurance company is now redoing our downstairs bathroom completely, putting in new walls and ceiling, in addition to a new vanity! Also we are getting new carpet throughout the livingroom/diningroom as well as our two upstairs bedrooms and the hallway. They are painting all this area as well, in colors of our choice. When they are done, they are going to clean the duct work, and clean the house. I was so upset with Sarah the night this happened, but have since thanked her! My sister asked if I could come and overflow her toilet!!!

Two nights after this excitement, we were laying in bed and Grant asked what hit his toe. Turns out we have a water leak in the bedroom as well, in the light! So we are also going to be getting a new roof (not from the insurance!), and new windows. We needed them desperately, so have arranged a loan with the bank. Going to be nice to have it all done!

Have to go for now. So tired, I'm about to fall over. I've been extremely tired the past few weeks, and am hoping that this is just because I am still recovering somewhat from my surgery, and not my thyroid acting up again!

Bye for now!
