Lucky!

Boy, we are lucky! We had a second estimate done on our basement and the man suggested calling out a plumber to snake the drains and check for tree roots before going any further. This way, we would be able to tell for sure if our drain tile is broken or clogged. We gave one of our neighbors (who is a plumber) a call and he came out and found a huge root ball in the storm drain! Since the drain was plugged, the drain tile couldn't drain and water started to rise around our foundation. This explains why we had both leaks last week. Once he pulled it out, we heard all of the water around our house drain into the line. We are very, very happy to say that our water problem is fixed! No expensive bills, no attorneys and some peace of mind! It stinks that we had to deal with all of the water and cleaning everything out of our basement, but on the plus side there are no longer any 70's flashbacks when you go down there :)

In the meantime, we have been working diligently to get the nursery done. We just have a few more things to do and we will be finished. We found some great vinyl wall decals that look really nice in there! I am starting to have more and more contractions every day and would not be surprised if the baby arrives a little earlier than expected. We are hoping to have everything ready within the next couple of weeks. We will post some pictures soon!
