The joy of being a home owner

Ryan was gone all last week for work and just got home this past Sun. We were down stairs in our guess/office room playing with our new camera that we had just got a few days earlier. I got up and walking into the connecting bathroom only to find water dripping from the ceiling and a puddle on the floor. Welcome home Ry.
I looked up and noticed that there was a bubble on the ceiling where the water was coming from I called Ryan in and we popped it. Water came poring out. We started to pill back the paint only to find mold and soggy sheet rock. There was nothing that we could do on a Sun. so we left it.
Mon. morning. Ryan had taken the next two days off and so we started. Ryan first was just going to try and scrap the mold off but it only got worse as he was scrapping it off his tool went thought the sheet rock and a big chunk came down reveling even more mold behind it. Oh great! Ryan finished ripping out all the wet sheet rock and the Tue. we had a few people come by to look at it.
It’s not as bad has we thought, but it’s defiantly no fun. Right now we are at a stand still because both of the people that came to look at it told us we would need to let it dry out for a few days before they could do anything with it. So that is just what we are doing.
Of all weekend for this to be a problem it had to be this one. We have family coming up to stay with us because Connors birthday is on Sun and it’s the last weekend before a lot of schools start.
