SO, let’s go back in time a little. Last Thursday evening the night before we were supposed to go on a nearly week long trip 4 states away, we were doing normal things..
We had a community class at our church, and I went over to be available if anyone needed child care. No one did, so we went off to buy shoes for Azia and Caleb before the trip.
That done we headed home ready to get the kids in bed and do some packing!
I was behind the kids as they entered the house.. I heard them talking about odd things..
Then they turned to me and asked..
“Mom, why is there soy sauce dripping from the ceiling?â€
I looked up and there dripping from the entry hall ceiling was what indeed looked like soy sauce! The ceiling was sagging a good 4 inches down as well.
Immediately I called Brian and said Brian.. we have a problem!! I tried to describe what was going on and he came home as quickly as he could.
In the mean time I looked for the source of the water. At first I couldn’t find anything. But then I spotted the faucet of our laundry room turned the wrong way toward the wall and it was dripping!
ugh!
When Brian got home, he proceeded to poke a hole in the ceiling and water poured out. And then he made the hole bigger.. and bigger.. and well it ended up like this..
(see the nice walls with the wallpaper removed and the spackling done?)
NOT how we wanted to spend the night before we left..
The good news is, we had planned to pull that section down anyway, and the really good news is that there was no yucky mold up there!
