Oh the "Joys" of Being a Home Owner...

Well not even two months into married life we received the home owner's initiation gift not once but twice...
I'll tell you of the second one first since its the smaller one...almost even a no biggie compared to our first adventure!  It happened on Saturday about 2 weeks after the first "initiation" when we came home to find this:



and it was no small feat to move either (although I don't know actually how heavy it was because I watched those manly men move it from the nice cool side of the window from the comfort of the couch...But they say it was hard and I believe them because it took three of them just to get it off the roof and it's still laying in the flower bed haha!  But hey, at least we have firewood for the winter!

Now the biggie, I am going to start out with a picture since they are worth a thousand words



Now I couldn't get a picture of the hole, but you can imagine how big it is with all that insulation...(which there was more I couldn't get in the picture!)  But let me go back to the beginning.  It all started with just a few drops of water on the kitchen floor which quickly turned into flooding in the equivalent of a gallon an hour!  Well we managed to figure out that it was the AC (which happens to be in the most inconvenient spot in the attic, hidden behind a wall of insulation!) so we turned off the ac and went to paul's parents...When they finally repaired the ceiling a week later the drywall was still wet! It was such a mess (as you can see from above)  But thankfully it is all fixed now and hopefully between the ceiling and the tree we are ahead of the game in regards to home ownership mishaps!
