One, two, three, GONE!

Jay sold his last house on Friday!   Let the renovations in our own home begin!

Moving Day

Yesterday was the shifting of the bedrooms.  After Quinn's basketball game, which they won 20-19, we finally had the opportunity to move all of the furniture that was in our garage.  No one had basketball or baseball and school is over until the new year.  So Walker now has our bedroom set, Quinn has Walker's bed and Jay and I have a lovely new bed with 2 dressers and a new mattress.  It took all day to shift all of the furniture.  I finished cleaning up Walker's room today.  They all look much better!  I still cannot park in the garage.  It is filled with our old dining room set and kitchen table as well as toilets and sinks in preparation for our renovation.  Which will happen sometime in the spring or summer.

What's wrong with this picture?

PVC pipe

In October it rained a ton here in Atlanta. Our crawl space under our house flooded and ruined our furnace. We got a new furnace and had a sub pump installed to pump the water out if it happened again. Well the pump kicked in yesterday. My god is that thing loud. It scared the dog and everyone else when it came on. You could hear it up stairs. We are glad the pump is working. The problem is that it pumps the water about a foot from the entrance to the crawl space. Meaning, the water goes right back in again. Today I got to go to Home depot, with a list from Jay, to get pipe to get the water to the driveway. I measured the pipe, 1 1/2 inch from outside the pipe. I go to home depot and long story short, end up with pipe that is too big. Turns out the pipe is 1 1/4 on the inside. But it worked anyway. So now the side of our house has 20 feet of pvc piping sticking out of it. Jay says he will run it under ground. My question is when?

Welcome to the big top!

I came home yesterday to get ready for a pool party with my pre kindergarten class and this is what I find over the entrance to our house.  It looks like a circus tent!  As it turns out our landlord went to "fix" the leaks and he discovered that his gutters had rotted. So now instead of it coming in under the front door and through the electrical outlets,  the water has two more entry points down the wall.  Water is everywhere.  I cannot wait to go home today and see all even more water. We have been having downpours every hour or so.  It has rained on and off for 2 weeks.  The land of fun and sun has become the land of rain.  Hopefully we will be able to get the games in tomorrow.

Dryer

It works! Good work Jay!
