Our First Cootastrophy

One week in the new house...one week and our first Cootastrophy.
I get home from work and Juju yells, "is that you honey"?
Yea.
"You need to go in the basement and turn off the water to the 1/2 bath toilet...quickly".
As I turn the corner into the hall, I see a 1/4" of water on the hardwood laminate. I open the bathroom door and see my wife on the floor, soaking wet, sitting in a pool of water, trying to shove the toilet supply shut-off back into the PEX pipe. I sprint to the basement and find the shutoff to the toilet. The unpainted drywall walls are soaked, and in the basement there is a 6 ft x 6 ft wet spot under the bathroom. That is a lot of water...cold water that Juju was laying in trying fix the pipe.
I seems as she was going to the bathroom, Cooter came in, bent down next to the toilet, and just pulled the shut-off right out of the PEX line. It was like a geyser shooting from the floor! Trying to stop the water while laying on the cold and wet floor for 20 minutes was all she could do until I got home. I am afraid that our laminate tile floor in the 1/2 bath and wood laminate floor in the hall are going to be ruined. After living there for a whole week. CRAP!
Then I was trying to get our clothes dryer gas line hooked-up and I needed a pipe reducer. Went to Lowes and, of course, got the wrong one. CRAP, CRAP!
Then decided to put together our new little corner desk for our computer and had to take it apart as many times as i put it together because of putting things together backwards or upside down. CRAP, CRAP, CRAP.
It was not a good one week anniversary.
Saturday morning, Juju and I are judging a high school academic competition taking place at a local college. Aunt Alyice is gonna watch Coots in the AM and then at dinner time we are going to Coots first real birthday party at a local sports park.
He was crazy bad on thursday. They celebrated a couple kids birthdays at daycare. All the balloons and cake and decorations got him all revved-up and he was crazy hyper all day.

The New House

Here are a few pics i took with my cell phone.
hopefully there will be more to come.


In Like Flint

We moved into the new house yesterday. By no means is ALL our stuff moved, but enough to spend the night and come to work today. The Goat is selling her box truck today so we just got the big stuff, our clothes and kitchen utensils. That box truck was sure a great luxury to have for the past couple of years. I am sad to see it go, but the goat doesn't use it as much as she thought she would for the catering business, so it makes sense to sell it to someone who can use it.
I don't think we will move anything else in the cars tonight. Just put clothes in the dressers and organize the hanging clothes, decide which drawer the kitchen stuff will go into etc. My back and knees are in bad shape, but nothing 2000 mg of ibuprofen won't fix.
Cooter and the Foo adjusted much better than I anticipated. Coots is enjoying speeding around the open floor plan and fell asleep very quickly. We decided to put his crib next to the light switch as that was the layout in the old house and he enjoys having control of the switch. I think it made the move a little less traumatic that there was a common thread in both bedrooms. As for the Foo, he seemed unfazed. He ate some food as soon as he got there (after sniffing around each room) and was not jumpy at all. Juju brought over his fleece blanket that he likes to sleep on and he chilled on that most of the night until he decided he was hungry and tried to wake me up at 5 am. by the way, when he did wake me I noticed Cooter's light was on. He must have woke up and flipped the light on and went back to sleep in the middle of the night.
I sure was weird waking up in a new bedroom (especially when the new bedroom is 3 times bigger than the old one). It is a master suite with it's own bathroom and walk-in closet. I felt like i was in a hotel room. The bed is in the middle of the room with our dressers and "dressing area to the left and computer and "sitting area" to the right. The only thing that will take some getting used to is with all the laminate and tile floors all the sounds carry. I had the police scanner on last night on my night stand (as i do every night) and it seemed I couldn't get it to a good volume. I kept turning it down and down, but it was still waking me up every time i heard a call. CRAP!

T-Minus 3 Days

Well, the day is set. We are moving on Wednesday. I have been painting like a madman with Moose and Uppa all weekend. It is taking a lot longer than i anticipated. With fresh drywall and just weak layer of primer (put on by the contractor)the paint is just getting sucked into the drywall on the first coat. Loading the roller every 2 feet really slows the process. We got the bedrooms painted with 2 coats. Our bedroom is a Lemongrass green/yellow and Cooter's is a Light Blue/Grey color. With the Cherry laminate floor and White trim both rooms look amazing. Monday night we will put a second coat on the laundry room (it is a Dark Blue/Grey)and maybe the stairs (a Mocha color) if there is time. Tuesday night i will start packing up clothes and Wednesday we will move. The Goat is selling the box truck on Thursday, so we have no choice.
Here is a pic of Cooter on Halloween. He was "Row Row" the dragon. He really didn't "get it". He was more interested in the lights and decorations.


Is that the cutest thing you have ever seen or what?

Paint, Paint, Paint

Today Uppa, the Moose and I painted the bedrooms of the new house. I didn't get as far as I had hoped. I have to remember that this is the first coat ever on these walls and it is time consuming and suck up a bunch of paint. Our bedroom too 2 gallons and I had to run to the pait store and get a second gallon for Cooter's room. I got there just before the store closed and my cousin's wife hooked me up with the family discount. Tomorrow back to the painting. A second coat in Cooter's room and the laundry room and 1 1/2 baths. at least the big rooms are done. We will move in during the week sometime. It is supposed to be sunny and warm for the whole week. Maybe I will finally catch a break.
