When it rains, it pours

Well, we suffered through 3 weeks without running water in our house, and now it seems we have the opposite problem. Praise God, we’ve had running water now for about a week solid, and I still find it a privilege to wash dishes with ease and flush our toilets. For a few weeks we were enjoying mostly sunny weather, leading me to believe the dreary rainy season was over. It seems as though I’ve been duped and the new rains have caused new leaks in the roof that bring lots of steady drips into our dining room for the extent of time that it’s raining outside. We have a nice bucket on top of sugar container on top of stool on top of phone table contraption to catch the drips, but our wood floors are still all spotted up once again from renegade water drops. Last months dripping left a 10ft. x 10ft. spot of wall covered in nasty, black mold (which instead of killed was conveniently painted over by our landlord). I’m hoping things can get fixed up before we have to walk down that road again. Things like this definitely get us more excited to get our own home underway sooner rather than later.
