Blah water leaks... basement problems ;(

Another day full of surprises... after having a BIG surprise yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon... I happen to go down to Jer's office to take bills down and get some paper for the printer... well I slide Jer's door open to a BIG mess! at least 3" of water thru out his floor... everywhere! WHAT a mess! No equipment got damaged... THANK GOD! a few totes got wet, and the picture from the Tigges :( was very SAD to see that!

So that was the BIG ordeal yesterday but we got the shop vac going... just couldn't find pieces to the damn thing! So my dad got me a small new one for these kind of incidents! Where is the water coming from? That hasn't been determined yet ... we think its the small opening under the side steps... but I'm not 100% convinced since it wasn't wet at all over by the steps.

What else happened yesterday? Hrm... oh I found the floor back in my closet :) I was a HAPPY girl when that was accomplished... all the crap went from my closet to a HEAPING pile on my bed... then back into the closet organized! What a great feeling!
Did you ever feel like you are married to your clothes at times? and just love to wear certain things? I have a SICKNESS I love clothes and love to mix my clothes up to give it new looks. I am so sick I have it all color cordinated... oh and I have a SHOE issue too, OH MAN! didn't realize I had that many shoes... hate to say this but Jer was right :( but a woman can never have enough shoes, right? Purses! Don't even go there with me! TERRIBLE HABIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But hey I have to "try to look good"!! right? Its like they say you either have it or you don't... but what about being a dress-ohlic... is there such a thing? I should have a medical alert for it if there is!

Anyhow today was an ok day... I was down at Tammy's shop and well... got a text message from Janet ( our finishing lady) saying that "we had water by the furnace" ... and then the next msg... was "and you will need a plumber" ... I was thinking OH GREAT! Here we had a "pin hole" in a 90* angle... but its all better now but I was 'flippin my tator tots' when I saw the msg... thinking WHAT NOW?????? But its all better now...

Whats up for tomorrow? not sure if I could handle another leak, water problems, or anything related to going wrong! Jer comes back tomorrow, YEAH!!!! Mitchel took off tonight to Grandma and Grandpa Steffen's. He and Grandpa and several guys are going to ILL. to a indoor tractor pull for the weekend. Mitchel is a DIE HARD of tractor pulling like my dad... dad is feeling pretty good due to all the excitement from last week. All test came back ok... so he's in full force :) for doing things again.
Tractor pulling? Hrm... I could never get into it but I am a girl... just not my thing! Think it would be BO...R..ING... but again I am a girl ... but Jer nor Issac like them either... I am happy however that Mitchel enjoys it, its a bonding thing between him and his grandpa :)

Ok I best get back to sorting, cleaning and put today's laundry away. Hope you are all having a good Wednesday!
Stay warm until Spring decides to come...
