We Survived...Well, Kind Of

Unfortunately, I'm not writing about tax season here (although, it's done, finally). I'm writing about our first storm in our new house.

Dave and I have been looking forward to our first spring storm here. We were looking forward to sitting on the deck and watching it roll in. We wanted to watch the lightning through our large living room windows. And we wanted to see how the house held up. Well, last night, we finally got to experience our first spring storm.


We had hail.

Lots and lots of rain.


And crazy winds.

It was quite a scene to watch. The thunder and lightning was constant for several hours.

Our house held up quite well - at least that's what we thought last night. We came home today to a large puddle on our floor.

As you can guess, we are not happy. Our four season room ceiling has several wet spots; the floor is slightly warped in one place and there was water directly below in the basement. So much for enjoying the first spring thunderstorm. We'll be talking to our builder on Monday and hopefully he'll be out here immediately to fix all problems (well, not hopefully, he will be out here or he will deal with me and I'm not happy).
