Two pieces of news to share…. 1. I changed my blog header to reflect the season… and 2. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah we found a leak in the hot water pipes UNDER our living room slab today {read the carpet is realllllly warm and the water heater runs continuously} so I’ll be MIA for a bit while I get the contractors out here this week to start repairs. Several neighbors in this development have had the same thing happen and the news is, 1 week, $10,000 to $12,000 and a TON of sheetrock dust (they will cap the pipes currently running under the slab and they will replumb the house through the ceiling and walls rather than dig up the entire slab). I always wanted to finish my schooling to become a General Contractor…. just didn’t think I’d have the chance to experience it on my own home. My architectural and engineering backgrounds will serve me well here in helping to understand what’s going on. {sigh} {heavy sigh}
Oh Patty thats awful!! Do you have to pay for it? Or th econtractor who did the homes? If others are having the same problem, sounds like the builder should take care of it!!
Good luck! nice warm floors tho…
What a bummer! Sorry to hear about your plumbing problem and hope it gets resolved without too much problem.
I feel so bad for you Patty. We will sure miss your postings and look forward to when you are back and your house issues have been resolved.
BTW: love your Fall blog header!
Hope you are back soon!
That just stinks!!! I hope the repairs go quickly and smoothly for you!!
OH, BUMMER! So sorry about the plumbing! That is just WRONG…the builder should be responsible…why can’t folks just do a proper job in the first place??!! And we’re going to miss your posts! Hope it goes smoothly and quickly…
Oh, Patty! That’s just gotta make your heart sink! But I hope the repair goes as smoothly as possible.
And I love how you change your banners from time to time. I’m hoping to figure out the “how to” of that myself one of these days….. “when I have time”. (HA!)
Bless you, Patty!! We’ll miss you & keep checking back anxiously anticipating your next post!!!!
Oh Patty…..I’m so sorry. I’ll be praying for this whole situation. Take care sweetie.
Thinking of you.

Do you by any chance live in Oceanside, California – because my son-in-law just had the same thing happen to them at their house. EXACTLY what you said-I thought for minute I was reliving that NIGHTMARE. GOOD LUCK to you and hope whoever does your work is a clean and professional as they were in Oceanside, California.
