When my mom was with me waiting for Costco to open their doors among a hoard of other people, she brought up the idea of postponing our northeast adventure for next year because of a "bad feeling" she's been having about the trip. If this was coming from any other person, I would scoff at her and roll my eyes. But... my mom has had several experiences in her life that solidified her belief in the existence of God and that these bad feelings she gets is a warning from Him about some impending doom if she does not stray from her current course. So, here we are, thinking about cancelling everything over a whim. I'm more concerned about finding a way to reuse funds for Jet Blue, of all airlines.
Anyway, we're on schedule to replace the dry rotted exterior window trim around the house, starting with the most grievous one. Though, once it was removed, we noticed the wood within the walls was rotted, too, including some structural supports.
The window didn't seem to be the source of the leak, however, and so it was then that a hole in the roof was found where the rain gutters were improperly installed and was essentially pouring all the rainwater into the hole in between the walls.
Now we're trying to think about how to make this claim on the house or sue previous homeowners for negligence and incompetence. It's no fun having a lot of drama in your life.
