house blues

On most days, we love our old house. Despite it's "a work in progress" appearance, it's been cozy and full of character. However, this weekend Isaac fixed our leaky bathroom sink, and now our tub is leaking. We discovered this when Isaac noticed that our kitchen light was dripping water! This cannot be a good thing, right?

Part of me wants the damage to be so bad that we are forced to gut the bathroom and kitchen, so I can speed up the day I get my new cabinets, flooring, etc. But the realistic part of me PRAYS that it's an easy fix because the bill would bring us to tears....we'd have to resort to child labor. Sorry, Hannah.

After the roofing project, and taking care of Hannah full time, this project could not come at a worse time.
I hope Isaac's return to work will actually be a rest from his summer "break." Oh well, what can you do?

Ouch, sorry to hear about the house troubles. While I know nothing about plumbing, if it comes down to it I know lots about shopping. Really, put me to work and I'll do what I can. It's my house too :)

We'll find out tomorrow what the damage is. Isaac seems to think it's an easy fix. Let's hope!

please let me clarify that our leaky tub is NOT a result of Isaac working on the sink.....the sink is great....these events were chronological, not cause/effect

that's all. thank you.
