So for those of you who didn't know ... on Monday it was -49 degrees (with the wind chill). My front door and all my windows were covered with ice ... INSIDE. So what do you think happened to my curtains when the ice started to melt? They stained. My brand new (custom made!) curtains.
*sigh*
I didn't even know there was ice on the windows until they started to melt ... by that time, it had already stained our curtains. So off to the dry cleaners they went ... the bill is not a pretty sight - but worth it.
Next, this afternoon my mom found a leak downstairs. At first I thought it was just more ice melting ... until I saw how fast the water was coming in through the light switch and a crack on the basement floor. She said that it had to be a burst pipe b/c of the constant gush of water. So I turned off the main water valve (with the instructions of my husband) ... and my father-in-law and a plumber came to fix the broken pipe. But we were without any water for about 9 hours.
Thank God for my mom b/c I'm not sure I would have even caught the broken pipe for another couple hours!
Also, JC's truck hasn't been able to start since Sunday b/c of the extreme cold ... so he's been using the pilot - thank God that one still works :)
*sigh*
It's been an interesting (and expensive) couple of days ...
