The late night joys of home ownership

Life has been a little crazy at the Koller household recently. But, we thought things might be dying down a little bit. I got home from bible study last night and thought I would get a glass of wine, sit down and have a little quiet before going to bed early.  

Ha ha ha

The basement apparently had some other ideas.  We just started running our air conditioning in the last few weeks. Apparently our air conditioner decided that draining correctly was way to much work. So it stopped.

This of course meant that slowly but surely (in the incredibly humid city that D.C. is), water seeped out into our basement.

Thank heavens, Jack noticed it last night when he went into the basement and found a wet spot in the carpet.  And so the fun began...

Luckily our dehumidifier had been borrowed by some dear friends. The husband came over at 11 last night to return it and was a wonderful friend and helped Jack move furniture and pull up the carpet. 

The good news is it is just water. The bad news is that there was water!!  After pulling up the pad and back the carpet we have generally gotten everything dried out. We'll put it all back together in the next few days.

Caroline, of course, was completely unconcerned by all of this! She is, as usual, just happy about life! But, that may have something to do with the fact that she went to bed at 6:45 p.m. last night!
