Warning...don't wonder!

I wondered what would be next...well here's the update!

Sunday night-Guys showed up, ripped up the carpet, tore out the padding, and vacuumed the water up.

Monday-Same guys delivered a huge fan (with huge noise) and instructed us to run it for a few days.

Tuesday-A loud humming all night, all day, all night. I wonder what our electricity bill will be like...STOP! DON'T WONDER!

Wednesday-We decided our carpet was dry, called the "guys" and they will bring new padding and clean the carpet on Thursday.

Our toilet is now leaking.

I Wonder What Will Be Next?

Monday-BRRR!! 0 degrees. Inside day for the kids at school (no fun for teachers).

Tuesday-frozen pipes in the kitchen! We opened the cupboards, ran the space heater(s)x

0 degrees. Inside day for recess...hope it doesn't happen tomorrow!

Wednesday-pipes are still frozen. Another inside day.

Thursday-Inside day again. Frozen pipes. We borrowed a blow dryer from the Lisonbees and ran it for an hour and a half. 2 drips.

Friday-Kids could choose if they wanted to go outside-most didn't. Pipes are still frozen :)

Saturday-A plumber came and didn't know what to do about the pipes. He just moved from Mesa, AZ. Said he would get back to us (and still hasn't). Finally in the afternoon, with the slightly warmer weather, we got hot water! I did dishes in scalding water and then we waited for the cold. About an hour and a half later we got cold water!

Sunday-Chris found a big puddle in our front room. We found many more when we got home from church (where we learned that our neighbors got flooded too and are getting new carpet...).

I wonder what will be next?

Having a tree makes all the difference.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a grand time at the Whatcott cabin in Brian Head. We made lots of pie, ate lots of food, played in lots of snow, and enjoyed lots of together time. We can't wait to go back!!!
Look at the beautiful edges! 3 done, 6 to go!

First time using a bottle opener on the wall!
Great food, great company, great Thanksgiving!
Eating our handiwork!
