Everything in the house is breaking....

I'm totally serious.  All sorts of things are just giving out all at once it seems.  First it was the kid's AC.  We paid our annual bill to the repair man who let us know he's pretty sure we won't make it another year on that unit.  "/  Then not much longer after that, the same AC unit was leaking water down into our kitchen!!!  Apparently the AC guy had warned Josh that the overflow pan was heavily rusted and should be replaced...but Josh just likes to throw caution to the wind sometimes.  

Then over the weekend I noticed a leak under the kitchen sink.  A pretty bad one too.  Josh got under there and cursed at it for a while...made some headway, but hit a stopping point when he realized the problem extended into the copper tubing...

While he was still in his fit of frustration I took the kids to the park, and when I returned, he'd moved on to my shower...which has been leaking for some time now.  So, at that point we had 2 fixtures torn apart, and no water to the house...on a Sunday afternoon*sigh*  it seemed like a simple leak under the kitchen sink.  At least the kids thought so anyway.

They were pretty sure they could put their heads together and fix it. 

So, the little's and I hung out at my Mom's most of the afternoon...leaving Josh to wallow in his frustration and make numerous trips to Home Depot.  Plumbing is hard!  

But today when I got home he'd gotten my shower fixed and put a nice new head on there for me!  The plumber fixed the problem under the sink...and I got a new faucet!  Likely because Josh broke the old one in frustration...but who cares!  I'm excited about it regardless!  And the new one has an up and down lever, so it's much less obvious that the hot and cold are totally mixed up.  :)

The whole fiasco just might have been worth the cute pics of the little's.  :)

And I found a random one of Wallace when I was dumping the photos off the camera tonight.  :)
