The House

Our house is very nice, but we've had a few issues the first three days. On Sunday, we set out to do a little laundry. The washer worked great, but unfortunately, we couldn't say the same for the dryer - which are both housed in the garage. The dryer worked for about 30 seconds before blowing the breaker. After 5 or 6 trials and error we realized that the washer, the dryer, and the television were all wired into the same breaker. The landlord sent someone out the next day to fix the problem - which ended up requiring them to drill a hole into the house from the garage. The only problem is that instead of drilling into the maid's room as planned, they drilled a 2 inch hole into the wall in the foyer in plain sight. So now the dryer is working, but we have a massive hole in the foyer.

This morning Anne discovered another little hiccup. The master shower had been draining slow the last few days, but we thought we had unclogged the problem yesterday. Well the shower is draining better now, but it's draining directly downstairs through the kitchen ceiling onto the floor - we can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Hey friends!
Glad to hear you made it safely! I can definitely sympathize with some of your trials - it seems everything that could go wrong, did in the last few weeks. Hang in there and enjoy! Looking forward to keeping up with your adventures!

Wish we were there to see this all happening! How will home ever look "glamorous" again? And to think,Scott, you didn't want to have a doll with you when we went out to eat!
