Why are my feet wet?

The big question for the day on Monday! We were watching a movie and suddenly Andrew asked me if I spilled something. When I said no, he was like "Why are my feet wet?" We kind of just brushed the thought aside and assumed we had spilled something. Then a few minutes later when the wetness of our carpet was spreading, we decided we hadn't just spilled something. And so, this is what we are dealing with right now...

I know it is kind of hard to see in the pictures but this wall is right next to the utility room in our apartment complex and the water heater on the other side of the wall leaked... A LOT and came into our apartment! So fun... Not! So, we called our landlord at 11:00 at night and had him come over to take a look. He ripped up our carpet to see how bad it was. The water had spread pretty far... And there were bubbles in the wall (apparently the water heater was leaking really fast, or this had been going on for a while!) He then changed a little spout thing on the water heater, hoping that would stop the leaking, and left. When he came back in the morning the water had spread a lot more and our carpet was now SOPPING! So now we have a giant, NOISY blower thing drying our carpet out and he is coming back to put new padding down and fix the carpet and stuff! We're having a lot of fun being cooped up in our room so we can hear each other talk and having all our furniture shoved to one side of the room... Looks good, right? Maybe we'll keep it this way even when the carpet is fixed! :)

On the bright side, it could have been a lot worse! Our stuff could have gotten ruined before we noticed it! The only thing that got hurt was one of Andrew's textbooks that has some water damage now... Could have been worse!

AND the weather has been pretty nice the last few days! We even went out and got some tennis playing in! I love when we get to go out and play! That always makes things better!

Just thought you might want to see the fun things going on with us! Hopefully we will be moved by the end of the month!! Then no more dealing with bugs/leaking water heaters! :)
