June 12-22/06 Moving Bedrooms???

Picture - Jess with Bed moved into living room...

I cannot remember if I mentioned before that one year ago we moved from our five bedroom house in East College Park to a two bedroom condo right downtown, a very short walk for me to work. We did not realize when we purchased this condo on the sixth floor however, that we would have problems with water seepage...for the next year. You see, the 7th floor of this building is being reconstructed to be penthouses. They started tearing it apart last summer and we had our first seepage last July, enough in fact to kill our phone! We were led to believe that they were going to be working up there through the winter, but no, it snowed up there and construction halted. This spring we had our ceiling fan in the dining room ruined when the water came pouring through...we were experiencing leaks in a number of places.

How does this pertain to the twins you ask? Well, on Monday, June 12, 2006 due to excess water in Jess's bedroom we had to move everything out of there to get it dried out. Since the rain did not let up, Jess's bed was setup in our living room until Thursday, June 22, 2006. We knew Jess needed her rest, so we gave her our room during this time and we "camped out" in the living room. They were the eleven nights from hell...probably not all that bad but with noisy "big fans" and a "dehumidifier" running constantly, I went out and bought earplugs. We moved everything back around again Friday night but there is alot of reconstruction that needs to happen in here, all with babies due within three weeks!

What do they say about hindsight???
