Bring leaks to our roof and mini rivers to the basement... ::glare:: I'm over exaggerating the "mini rivers", it hasn't been THAT bad since the first year we were in our house, however we're still constantly having to patch up a crack in the basement, cuz water keeps getting in. And the leeky roof... ::le sigh:: I noticed the wet spot on the ceiling above our bed and told it to the hubby. He crawled up into the attic and discovered two things:

A. Where the leek was coming from and possibly how to patch it
B. There is a bird (or birds, it was one Starling when he was up there) getting into the attic through some vents connected to the roof... in theory there should have been some mesh screens over the vents to keep the birds OUT, however, Joe and I are slowly realizing the company who built this house...took as many short cuts as they could...

Joe and I have learned many lessons about what to look for in the next time we buy a house. ::nods::

In other news, I know I haven't updated in awhile, but I do have artsies to show! In another day or two I'll get them organized and put them up for people to see and enjoy.
