It’s been quite an educational week… I’ve really enjoyed learning about this plumbing re-route, and thankfully the workers have been very careful, considerate and really friendly.. so I’m thankful for all that… however… I had not envisioned the magnitude of this plumbing job… nor did I know our downstairs would be wrapped in plastic for 3 days, that we’d be without water for 2 days, and that I wouldn’t have access to my computer and all my "stuff"…. so I’m coming to you from my laptop in my stamp loft… it feels rather like camping out! LOL
So while the downstairs is wrapped in plastic, they are feeding the new plastic pipes through over 30 holes cut in our ceilings and walls:
here is what the new pipes look like:
The plastic stays up until the Drywall contractor can come and repair all the holes and then we’ll need to paint and clean the carpets, THEN move all the stuff back in… what a "mountain out of a molehill" project for one broken pipe!
When the inside is free of plastic, we can move the stuff back in from the garage, and THEN I can resume classes and a normal stampin’ life. Here’s to another day without water, and HOPEFULLY the last day of plumbing repairs….
my heart breaks for you with all that mess going on….i hate home repairs…it throws the entire house off…
i’m sure your whole house is thrown off since it is your whole house they are working on…
good luck with the repairs! i hope you get to stamp some soon.
love your blog!

On a smaller scale I can relate to what you are going through and I feel for you. God will give you the strength to get through this. Hang in there!
OH MY GOSH, PATTY !!! This is enormous !! I knew it was a big project but I had NO idea it was going to be this huge and disruptive !!! I hope all of this will soon be over for you !! Remember to go to Taco Bell 🙂 !!!

Oh Patty, I sure hope this all is over for you soon! Take care and try to have a good weekend.
UNBELIEVABLE, Patty! What an enormous mess and upset for your entire family. I still can’t believe that the builder would not stand behind this or at the very least, accept partial responsibility for it. I hope it’s over soon and you can get your normal daily life back. Thinking of you…

Patty, I love the lemonaid that you are making by turning this “awful to live through” project into a journaling event! Wow, the project does look organized.

WOW – what a enormous job. It is amazing to see you making the lemonade out of this major “Event”. My heart goes out to you as you go through this. But they really look like they know what they are doing and are very careful to not make too much of a mess. By putting all the plastic up it surely shows how much they respect your home. I have never seen any contractor or plumber do their job with such care. That is great.
