So, miracle of miracles, our hot water heater is putting massive amounts of rust into our hot water. What a blessing that is. It looks like we've been able to turn water to wine, though it tastes like crap. $912 dollars later we've purchased an energy saver 40 gallon bohemoth. Install is this Saturday between 9 and 11. Until then its lukewarm showers.
I'd do the install myself but... I'm not that talented.
The other super awesome blessing is the AC unit is no longer functioning properly. A copper pipe was bent and collapsed on itself by the builder 16 years ago. It's caused our AC unit to work 3 times harder than it has to. Luckily we got a nice guy to fix it and he'll be out at 8 on Saturday morning to remedy the problem. If this works, then we're good to go. If the quick fix doesn't hold like we want it to then we have $6000 leaving our pockets to get a completely new unit.
On top of all of this we're trying to finish the remodeling in two bathrooms, finish sealing the wood on the new fence, and get the baby's room ready to go. Ah the thrills of being a home owner.
And as a final note: please don't tell us that it only gets harder or that this is the trend of buying homes... I, for one, don't care to hear it. We know.
I guess the best thing to do is remind myself of James 1:2-3 : Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
We're all loaded up on perseverence, thanks.
Oh, I'm sorry all that happened while you're trying to focus on baby preparations. Way to persevere!
