We had a lot of excitement with water recently. We noticed a weird smell coming from downstairs but couldn't figure out what it was. Finally we went in the back bedroom and noticed that the carpet in the closet was soaked! We started investigating and found out the Lovely previous owners drilled a 1 1/2" hole in the foundation when putting the sprinklers in and put a 3/4" pipe in it with nothing to fill the gap. They then just buried it so water and dirt and who knows what else was coming in for who knows how long. Also we discovered the pipe for the garden hose had froze and burst so everytime we were watering the garden, spraying the dog, etc. water was gushing in the closet wall. It had been going on for long enough that it had spread to the other bedroom and the family room. We tore up the carpet and pad and were just going to let it dry out but then we decided the carpet was really dirty and gross so we are just getting new carpet. This was ALL we were going to do originally but it has now led to MANY more projects. Stay tuned for updates on those.
