Okay, so I’m cruising along, barely keeping up with work, scrambling with housework, but thinking I’m doing okay, then I realize I haven’t posted anything here in, like, a year and a half. [sigh] I really didn’t realize!<\/p>\n

The cousins’ visit was fine. They seemed to have a good time. Their bedroom and bathroom were clean, which was all I promised! I did discover a (literal) chink in the new shower door’s caulking when I cleaned it prior to their arrival. There was a gap in the bottom caulking, and after running the shower for a minute, we had a little fountain over the edge of the tub. It was up against the wall beside the toilet, in the same place that, a couple of years ago, a leaky fill line sent water under<\/span> the wall into my office. For days. Maybe weeks. Until I stepped in exactly the right spot and felt the squish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There was water inside the closet, too. It was not fun.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this time I heard the water running and saw the leak before<\/span> it spread. It was too late to do anything about it before the cousins got here, but after they left and it dried out, I caulked the heck out of it. As you can see above, I’ve had all I need of ripping out moldy carpet and soggy padding.<\/p>\n

So the only water problem I have to deal with is in the pool, which is empty right now. We had a chemical imbalance that couldn’t be fixed, so yesterday we drained the pool (all 20,000 gallons) and today we’re refilling. And in a few weeks, we’ll be paying the water bill. And paying and paying and paying. An empty pool is kind of cool-looking, though!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
