What water can do....

As most of you know for the two years we've lived in our house we've had an issue when it rains. As Ty would say, "It rains in our house". Shortly after we moved in we quickly realized that when it rains the water seeps in the dining room wall, soaks up the sheet rock and runs down the wall soaking the carpet. The builder was quick to determine the problem, which they thought was a vent above the window. They bricked it in, rearranged the dining room, pulling up the carpet, tearing down the sheetrock, insulation and rebuilding our wall. The vent obviously was not the problem and we've continued to have water. The builder is doing right by us and is going to start over tear down the stone, replace the window, add more waterproof sheeting - rebuild inside and out. So, Wednesday it was loud in here as the masons chipped and hammered all the stone - so Ty and Laci didn't sleep well. Thursday, we had a hole in the house as they replaced the window and put up the Tyvek. Today, the stone was going to go back up but guess what....it rained. You'd think the construction would stay at work, instead Ty gets to live and breath it right here at home - AGAIN - what a lucky kid!!!

I can't believe they are having to tear out your wall again, but I'm glad the builder is trying to fix the leaking problem. I'm sure Ty is enjoying watching the guys work on the house.
