College kid: here's the problem.

Tonight's picture is the assessment phase. Tomorrow I'll post a picture of the fixing phase. Then the next day I'll post a picture of the fixed but not finished phase. It's a way big improvement and we sure made memories doing it. Nate, the tall guy, was a BIG help; I don't think we could have done it without him.

Poor Nate was here holding the fort when the 'sky began to fall.' Coincidentally it was also raining cats and dogs and many places in OKC were flooding! Robert was out of state on a business trip and Trish and the rest of the kids were in Gatlinburg with us. Trish would have come home, but I-40 was closed due to flooding, so she couldn't get home. Nate put buckets in the kitchen and caught the water. When Rob and Trish got home they found out that it was the bathroom pipes leaking and had nothing to do with the rain. So, they tore out the ceiling to repair the pipes rather than tear out the tile flooring in the upstairs bathroom. The ceiling is up and looks much better. Rob will get around to taping it and matching the bubble finish.

Trish is feeling much better today, and hasn't been back to bed at all. She has spent the day resting on the couch. She can talk a little and swallow a little, but not much of either. I'm going home tomorrow to have a broken tooth fixed, but I'll come back here for a couple more nights as Robert is leaving town tomorrow on a business trip. I thank God that we live close enough and are able to help.
