Daddy's little helper

So Saturday night we went to Lowe's because we have had a strange mildew smell in our house. At first, we thought there was a leak in the toilet. There was, however it wasn't the main smell. We paid a plumber $100 to fix the leak in the toilet and we figured it would stop. Apparently, that wasn't the ONLY leak we had. The smell has been pretty bad. I would smell it all. the. time. It was driving me crazy. I decided to empty out our hall closet and air it out and spray vinegar and bleach on different areas. That still didn't seem to help. After opening up the closet that holds our water heater we noticed there was a leak there. When we first bought the house we had to replace the water heater and $600 later the leak in there stopped. But apparently, we never put an expansion tank so it was leaking underneath our house. So back to my story, we bought the tank and put it up last night. It took Tyler 2.5 seconds to figure it out and he put it together that night. Man, my husband is such a smarty. I love my husband. He drives me crazy but then there are times where I stand back and truly admire this amazing man who is so intelligent and can fix all of our problems himself. He saves us so much money by getting dirty and doing it himself.

Now that I bragged a little I can explain what happened after. While at Lowe's he decided to wanted to get a "fancy" tub stopper. We bought it and tried last night to put it together. Long story short, he ended up breaking a part and it fell underneath our house. We couldn't use our shower and we had to wait until morning to fix it. It took what it felt like all day Sunday trying to get the piece and solder it together. It wouldn't fit then we had to take apart the closet and go back under the house. It was a diaster!!! However, after fixing everything we enjoyed a BBQ dinner at home and ate some ice cream on our patio swing. It was an amazing end to a hectic and crazy day!
