If things really happen in threes, as the old wives tale goes, then we are 2/3 of the way there with house issues. First, the water problem happened. Well, now we have another issue that has come up this morning. I was boiling water on the stove so that I could use it for cleaning, etc. I had the exhaust fan on, but apparently it wasn’t enough to contain all the steam and the steam caused a section of the ceiling to peel off above the stove. Just lovely. It’s that yucky popcorn stuff on the ceiling and we’ve actually wanted it down for quite some time now, but we just haven’t bothered with doing anything about it. Guess we will now. We are trying to decide if we need to have it tested for asbestos. Odds are, it’s not present, but I’m thinking that’s not a risk to take. I have scheduled someone to come out this afternoon to take a sample to test for asbestos. Hopefully it is not present, but we would always rather be safe than sorry. So, add another thing to our plate. But, hey, at least the ceiling will look better soon. Then maybe we’ll be inspired to do the remaining ceilings.
Oh Kel! They do! Ugh! If ya
need help holler!
Renee – Girl, you understand these trials more than most, don’t you? Ugh. But, you know, I am really finding that my stress level over this is staying down. I’m finding ways to focus on the positives and move forward. So far, so good. Thanks for the offer. I’ll let you know, okay? We’re overdue for a catch-up session anyway.
