WTF.......

On February 27th 2013,
I was in my downstairs office
and noticed a wet place on the carpet.

The beginning of a nightmare.

truly.

on-going......


A water leak from outside into our condo,
began a long string of events
that I am unwilling to 
re-tell.

However, 
after many sleepless nights,
and much "hoo-ha"
the work began......

The front yard was trenched.
The water-proofing was installed.
The front steps were replaced.
And
work
began inside
(after months of no work in between)


The young men began to remediate the 
"MOLD PROBLEM".

Haz-mat type plastice sheeting went up.
Blowers were installed.
Protective breathing apparatus were used.
And
then
it 
came 
to 
HALT.

"Ms. Reed, please come down here, I have something to show you...."













water is still coming in to our home.

I am so discouraged.

I want desperately to be optimistic.

But, I am done.....

no smiles today.

How Fun!....



Who knew?
that my water fountain could be so much fun!
I was lucky enough to have two very special guests
several days ago...
they arrived with their mother...
and actually knew exactly what they wanted to do
while at my house....
(big smiles...)
they had seen my patio water fountain
during their last visit..
and it was calling to them from afar...
But the minute they stepped out of the
car they arrived in....
they made a bee-line for the FUN!
Well.....I had to laugh..
and the activity was pretty much non stop
for the next couple of hours...
(I had forgotten how much energy you need to be a parent)
We got wet..
We laughed...
We had snacks...
We watched "Nemo"....
we got tired...
we cried when we had to leave....
sniff....
but it was FUN!!!
smiles.
