House Woes

We have had a series of house problems over the past week....

It all started when the rains started--we have had nearly 10 inces of rain in the last week--never good for a house!

Last Friday morning, someone crashed into our backyard fence.   The fence is up against a fairly busy road that kids walk to school on, so luckily no one was hurt.  Apparently the driver, who was 17 years old, had a seizure--but she is ok.  The fence, however took a beating.   Luckily, trees behind the fence stopped the car, or else I think the car would have ended up in our backyard.  Here's the pic Alaina snapped from the kitchen:

Then on Tuesday morning, our power went out--but when it came back on our furnace would not restart.   On Wednseday, a repairman came over and found that our crawl space had nearly 3 feet of water inside it, and likley had flooded the air intake into the furnace.


Then on Thrusday, Jason went into the attic and found that a dmall roof leak that we had repaired 2 years ago was leaking again--no ttoo much--and not enough to explain the water in the crawlspace, but still a leak.


Jason was beyond exasperated with all of this,  understandably.  Hopefully the rule of three applies--we have not had three problems, so we should be done for awhile!  Now if only we can fiture out where the water in the crawl space is coming from!
