This House

Well, this house has been one challenge after the next! Most recently the water heater burner would not light. We called the company and they said broken, called a plumber they said pipes frozen! Oh did i mention that it snowed 12.1' a record for OKC. All in all it turned out to be frozen pipes which i will take over a new water heater. It froze up on Tuesday and today is Friday. I havent showered since Sunday!! Yup I'm gross!!! I have washed my hair and face but that is it. Peter has been taking bird baths! We are basicly snowed in! So of all the problems this has been the easiest so far.

Problems in this house:
A. wash machine drained into the guest toilet
B. plumbing bad and not up to code so they tore up our garage, yard, and driveway for new piping
C. new roof
D. Water coming in a leaking roof and leaking door frame at back door, water running into the house because patio was unlevel
E. heater broke in the middle of winter
F. had to tear out patio because was not level so the water went in the house
G. the hardwood floors were not sanded before they were stained so they are hard to clean
H. bathroom tub/toliet has backed up twice in less that 6 months of being in the house
I. found out there are two roofs
J. had to put in a plug for the dryer b/c was set up for gas dryer, really!!
K. the first wind storm we go blew our gate over and off its hinges
L. the back doors had to be rehung b/c they were not put in right so we had alot of holes and they didnt shut right
M. when we tore up the carpet there was a plastic tarp under the carpet no wonder we had mold
N. had mold on back wall
O. it snows or rains in our garage b/c it is not sealed or even fits the door that is for the cars
P. had rolly polly central in the back rooms where the carpet was bad
Q. kitchen cabinets are coming loose from the ceiling
R. had mice
S. had roaches, german ones
T. had to redo the thresthold on the front door so that we dont have a big hole for air to come thur
U. the window in one of the rooms dont lock
V. most of the windows dont open
W. tile cracking in kitchen
X. had to replace guest toliet seat because when they put back on they did it to tight so it cracked
Y. want to put in new vanity but there is no tile under the vanity
Z. had to have sheet rock replaces on backwall, and sealing from outside
AA. Have to plastic up the windows in the winter because so very cold
BB. put doors on guest clothest and clothest organizer
