At around 3:30p today, I got an IM from Kristy that simply said, “We have a major problem.” Turns out, somehow (I think the plumber did it–and no, we’re not playing Clue), water had been spewing out from under the sink for an unknown amount of time. What I can tell you is this, water is everywhere. Our wood floors are ruined, cabinets are swelling, and there are dozens of places where water has leaked through our sheetrock on both the main floor and basement/garage. It’s a mess. Here are some pictures to help you visualize…

If you want to see some more pics, head over to our flickr blog and there are a few more.

Honestly, this seems like an easy lesson for us. While we’re not thinking lightly of the situation, both Kristy and I are quick to point out that there must be a lot more going on behind our back than in front of our face. Yes, this will push us back at least a month from moving into our house and yes, we’ll have to deal with insurance to get this resolved. Yet, at the end of the day, we’ve been given the opportunity to own this beautiful home and we’ll be in it soon enough. We’ll be patient and wait it out. If anything this gives us a chance to focus on the outside of the house. It’s time to landscape!
