A Little Leak

We had a wild ride last month when we suddenly discovered water soaking the carpets in our master bedroom. After doing some investigating, we discovered the cause for the leak was our water heater in the attic. The leak would have been contained, but we had a leak in the pipe that went through our master bedroom closet. Besides having to replace the water heater, we paid $750 for a plumber to find a fix the leak and $1000 to have the walls and carpets dried. Our builder was kind enough to cover the repairs, and is sending in drywallers and painters next week to take care of cosmetics. We went a few days without hot water, boiling water on the stove for baths for the kids, while Ted and I braved very fast 50 degree showers. Certainly makes us appreciate the hot water during cold weather!
