Over My Head

Ahhh! I keep thinking I will be frequent and timely poster...no such luck. So much has happened lately and I always think "that would be an interesting post",but then something else happens and nothing gets posted.

First off, I believe this house may be the end of me. I know we didn't get a money pit...but we have sure had some rough luck. I can not get the upstairs heat pump to work right. I am thinking maybe Oklahoma just has too cold of winter for a heat pump to be effective. We don't get a lot of weather below freezing but when we do...our upstairs is no more pleasant than the great outdoors.

And then last week...the doozie. I will spare the details but the toilet in Evan's bathroom (on the second level) overflowed. As soon as I noticed, Evan and I raced to the basement trying to find the plunger. No luck. As I headed back through the basement, I noticed water leaking in the basement bathroom. Two stories beneath the original problem. And then when I went back up through the kitchen, well, it looked like a torrential rain fall. There are about 15 flood lights in the kitchen and water was pouring through all of them. I finally figured out how to turn off the water, Matt was able to leave work and we had the entire mess cleaned up in within an hour. I am just praying it was a one off and not an indictator of a bigger problem.
