life in the model home

well, this is no bluth manufactured home, but sometimes it seems close.

this is what we faced this week:

The light switch in the dining room, just keeps spinning around. sometimes the light gets brighter, sometimes dimmer, but never in an orderly fashion. It's hit or miss. Luckily, it still works.

Our washer and dryer were delivered, but cannot be completely hooked up. The faucet for the cold water, the water we can't wash without, is rusting away. We need to replace the faucet before we can hook up the washer. And does anyone in the church know how to turn off the water in this house???? Not a one. (I guess we'll wait for the plumber.) In the meantime, we'll just dry everything.


On the happier note, the windows in the house are sturdy. How do we know? Well, we've had at least 5 birds fly into our sliding door. Only one left a chunk of feathers. (ouch) The plan is to either, get a cat, or just put a large cat decal up on the glass, so the birds stay away. I'll let you know how all that pans out.

oh yeah, and the batteries in all of our remotes seem to be dying quickly. either all the batteries just died at the same time, or there is a strange power drain in the basement. not sure what the source of the drain could be...and if it is the washer, i'll just be frustrated that all that power is going to the unusable appliance. i'd much rather it go to the broken sewing machine...
