Ok, so here's what I was talking about. Our stressful day. My dad came over on friday morning to help us finish the mudding and stuff well he noticed that by the window, the paint and tape was bubbled up. I thought it was probably the dishwasher because we'd already had that leak once. So why not again right?
Well my dad finished what he needed to and he came back saturday afternoon to sand. I went down there with him to get a look at things and much to our suprise we were looking at where he said the he saw the bubbles. Mike said that it looked like it was wet. He felt it and it was wet! Oh great!
So we were wondering if it was the washer, we went and checked the washer and no water! So we checked underneath the sink, No water. Well crap what now? Cut the sheetrock? Yup that's what we did. One square got cut right above the leak and there were the hot and cold water pipes. They weren't wet. But my dad could feel where the water was and it wasn't coming from above, it was coming from a side.
He had the hunch that the leak was coming from the drain. More cutting the sheetrock? Yes that's what happened. So now we have a hole in the ceiling. BOO!! ha ha well when we cut the last square we found where the water was remotely coming from but not the source. We found that the pipe where the water had been leaking down was kinda moldy. GROSS!!! I'm discusted now. So we go back upstairs and look where the pipe goes.
Come to find out it goes behind the lazy susan. Oy!! So we had to take the lazy susan apart. The fun that was! So now we have the lazy susan apart all over our kitchen. Fun stuff. My dad had to cut a little bit of the sheetrock away from the pipe so that he could feel around it and see if he could find a leak anywhere.
much to our suprise he found a four inch crack in the pipe, and another one around the back that you obviously couldn't see. This is FANTASTIC news!! I'm jumping for joy! NOT! We have to replace a pipe now! I'm not excited at all!
So we were going to go to lowes and get the stuff to do it but we figured we have a warrenty on our house for a year and I can't tell you how much it has saved our rear ends! Needless to say we're extending the warrenty before it ends. So we put a claim into the warrenty place and they are sending someone out to fix it either monday or tuesday.
Our kitchen is a mess and it's is annoying me. We can't use our kitchen sink or our dishwasher because the dain is cracked so it would just make the matter worse. It is very inconvinient for us. But all I have to say is it's a good thing that I don't cook. Ha ha.
So that was our fun saturday afternoon! Here's some advice for future home owners: purchase a warrenty on your house before you buy it, it saves you so much money!

Ok, so after all AVATAR was a really good movie!! It was awesome! We are planning on buying it when it comes out! I was skeptical about it because I didn't know what it was about. Mike said it was up there with Batman and Transformers. I totally agree.

So today we went shooting at Lakeview Gun range in bountiful. It was a ton of fun, Mark my brother in law went and then Mike and I were the other ones there. I shot my 9mm for the first time and it was so much fun! I have shot the exact same gun but it wasn't mine ha ha. I had fun and I even hit the bulls eye! Yay, go me! Mark was practicing for his hunters edu. class. He did very well I thought. It was cool to see the fog roll up the hill where we were at. It would just come rolling up the hill. You could see above the fog really well and I wish I would have taken a picture of it. On our way home from shooting, we stopped at the davis conference gun show! It was packed! There were so many people there. It was crazy! It was fun to look at all of the guns and the ammo and stuff but other then that it was just ok. We were just about to walk out and I saw the CUTEST candle warmer!! It was a MOOSE one!! So Mike let me get it, He's so nice! Even though I have one already, he said that I could lol. I got two new sents and one of them it called SKINNY DIPPING it smells soooo Good!! Yummy! So we went to the gun show and we didn't get a gun we cot sentsy stuff!! Ha ha! So now were at the in laws (Mike's Parents House) and I think that we might go home really quick so I can clean up the basement so my dad can put another coat of mud on the wall and then we'll be done with the mudding and taping and then we can just clean up and be ready to paint and get the floor in. As far as that goes I think that I have changed my mind again on the Colors that I am going to paint the salon. I think thast I am going to paint it a purple color, for the accent wall, and then do like a tan for the other walls just so theres not a ton of color! ha ha hopefully it'll be really cute! I hope! But we have floor for the salon and for the kitchen they'll be the same floor and then we got wood flooring for the entries into the house and those will be the same, that one is a really dark wood. It's really cute! I wish we could afford to do that in the kitchen but it'd be a ton of money because we'd have to order some more flooring because we don't have enought to do the kitchen. Lol. Anyways it'll be cute either way, I just soooo excited that we are redoing our floors because we have like 20 broken tiles in the kitchen and the grout by the front door is coimg out and it's VERY annoying! By the way we are going to see AVATAR tonight and I hope that It's good because I don't really have a wanting to see it, it just doesn't look very good. But on the other hand everyone that has seen it has said it to be really good.
