Wise words from Paul Rudd in Forgetting Sarah Marshall

"When life gives you lemons, say 'F*ck the lemons' and bail"

This pretty much sums up how I feel about our newest home reno project. You see, this is not some new and exciting reno, this is patch work and Sherlock Holmes style detective work all rolled into one. Our ceiling started leaking on Sunday morning after a night of rain and now we have to a) figure out where the water is coming in and b) fix it. I pretty much just want to bail and ignore this whole turn of events completely. It'll repair by itself...right? Ceilings have self-healing powers....right?

As you can see from the image below, Ian is none too pleased.



UPDATE: The leak has been sourced and the ceiling has been temporarily tarp-ed until the fellas can patch it up. Sherlock Holmes would be proud.

Toilets

My dad came by this morning with two new toilets. One for the basement bathroom to be and one for the upstairs extension (master bedroom and ensuite). I can't believe we're actually going to have more than one bathroom. I'm getting excited!

Happy 1 Year Anniversay!

It has been one whole year since we took possession of the house. Well, technically it's been one year and 2 days. I remember getting the big news while working a shift at the store last August. After work, I walked back to our apartment on Roncesvalles positively bursting with excitement. I couldn't wait to see Ian so we could celebrate! Now we've had a year of celebrations right here in this gorgeous house and I'm looking forward to many many more. That reminds me, it's about time to start planning that backyard party!
