Wednesday before Thanksgiving we woke up at 4am to the sound of dripping water. We got up to find water leaking from the ceiling in the kids bathroom upstairs. We decided to check the rest of the house to be sure there were no more leaks. Unfortunately we found more. And then we found more. After calling a plumber to come out and figure out what was going on. We learned that we have a rodent stuck in our attic. As you would guess, he wasn't to happy with us. He chewed through at lest 8 water pipes (which thanks to Pulte...are made of plastic...ahhh!) We have water damage throughout our house. Mostly in our dining room and kitchen. Currently, we have over 10 fans drying out the moisture. It's interesting to live in a house with no running water, a web of electrical cords, and nails sticking out of the walls with two 18 month olds. Thanks to family and friends who have had us over to stay at their house and feed us! It makes it all worth it! Hopefully this week we can start to repair the damage. Looking on the bright side...I think I am going to get new carpet out of the deal. Score!!

turned from this, to THIS...
