Dare you to move

So yeah, a bit of a plumbing disaster. One of the new joints was leaking and it had dripped down and soaked a couple linear feet of the kitchen ceiling below. It also formed balloons of water behind the paint on the walls (stencils, not wallpaper, thank goodness). Once we got past the sinking "oh no" feeling, that part was pretty cool.

John knows a bit about plumbing, at least enough to cap off the leaky pipe. Because of a previous foray into the crawl space to fix a frozen pipe, we even had the tools. So he sat on the edge of what was left of bathroom floor to glue that cap on. It wasn't until he heard the "plink, plink" of the drywall nails giving way that he realized his feet were resting on the kitchen ceiling. I have to give him a hard time about being not only handy, but a little "footy" too!

We weren't too keen on inviting that plumber back (we found other, more serious problems later), and we still needed to find a tile guy, so we closed the door, took a bit of a breather over Christmas, and did some more searching.

Below is my favorite MsMia montage set to Switchfoot's "Dare You To Move", with video and photos of Clay Aiken. I'm not usually a fan of CCM, but I'm a fan of Clay, and this is a good song with a good message. You screw up, or things don't go right, you gotta deal with it and move on. We didn't need to "pick (ourselves) up off the floor", but we needed to get moving again, so there's my segue *g*.
