Roughing It

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

I have never been one for camping. However, that's what it feels like I'm doing. We have our 3rd slab leak and 4th flood at the house this year. We took the plunge and are getting the place re-plumbed, top to bottom. I knew it would be inconvenient. I knew it. I just didn't really know what a big mess it would be! Imagine large holes (2 and 3 feet) cut into the drywall. Imagine everything in your bathroom cabinets out on the floor. Imagine your kitchen if you will, with the refrigerator in the middle of the room.

And now imagine you have no water.
That's right; no showers, no coffee in the morning, no washing your hands after changing a diaper. No drinking water, no laundry getting done. No dinner being cooked. No flushing toilets.

And did I mention the gigantic holes in EVERY room????
So tonight will be the one night I am camping, in my own house. Enjoy it boys, this is as close to camping as I get!
