And So It Begins

Well, we managed to get ourselves all moved in before the Easter holiday. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Sean's parents and sister and family all came over for the weekend (which we loved). When we heard they were coming, we made it a priority to be moved in by then. There are still a couple of things that we need to do to the house, but it is definitely in a live-able state. Everyone got here sometime on Friday. That morning, would you believe that our plumbing decided to play a mean trick on us - that is, it decided to get clogged up? Both our toilets and one of our showers were all backed up together (and the clog was where they all connected). After all our best efforts to unclog any of the fixtures, we had a plumber come out.He didn't have the "magic tool" and he wouldn't have it until the next morning. All I can say is thank goodness we still had our rental house and that it is only about a mile away. We had to take "bathroom trips" to the other house for the rest of the day and night on Friday. The plumber returned the next morning and cleared us all out. Before we had the plumber come out I called my dad to ask him if he had any advice (he is kind of "the know-it-all of almost anything), and in his return phone message, after informing us about the problem he said laughing, "Welcome to the world of home ownership." And so it begins....
