Ewww Gross!!!
OMG!! So our first real mishap of the house just happened. Our bathtub did not drain and so we decided to plunge it. Well eventually we heard a "pop" and it started draining. Sweet! Canceled the plumber and we were good to go. Of course 10 minutes later, we went to the basement and the bathroom as well as the laundry room was flooded with sewage. Yuck!! It was disgusting "brown stuff" everywhere.
Had to find a plumber to fix our problems immediately of course and when they arrived, they thought it was the huge oak tree in our front yard. It may have been the root structure that broke our main pipes causing the disaster. That would have cost beaucoup $$$ to fix he said. Fortunately, after hours of snaking, it turned out to be huge gobs of hair left by the previous owner. We were almost happy to hear that if not for the "leftovers" and nice bill.
Oh well. Guess we're learning

It's Been Awhile
Since moving into our new home about 6 weeks ago, we've been pretty recluse. We're very quickly learning about the costs and responsibilities associated with being new homeowners. There's been a number of things we've had to take care of since we moved in... learning about electricity and the plumbing are among them. We even installed a new garbage disposal! (With my dad's technical support over the phone of course.) I guess that's the breaks, especially when the house you're buying hasn't been maintained or even lived in for many months. There's still a number of things on the "to-do" list, but we've decided to try and take it slow and enjoy the house while we're making improvements.
One really exciting thing we did was to buy a headboard and dressers. No more plastic drawers for us! And our bed is finally off the floor. We also purchased a big couch for our big basement, and in 4-6 weeks we'll no longer be sharing the small loveseat when watching TV. Couch shopping was really hard. We have a pretty narrow stairwell and the one outside isn't much bigger. We had to look all over to find a sectional sofa that broke up into small enough sections to get it in the basement. I can't wait to get it and have seating for more then the 2 of us in the basement. Now if I could only decide on a paint color...
Nam's dad was over this weekend and did a ton of work on our yard. The planting bed in the front was cleaned out, weeded, and mulched. Dead plants were removed, and others were moved to make room for the shed he's going to build for us. It's amazing how much difference getting that planting bed cleaned up makes.
We're still in the midst of wedding planning too :) It's a busy time, but I think we're adjusting well.
Hope to post more soon,
