The joys of homeownership

Last Thursday after getting home from work, I sat on the couch to chat with Kristen on the phone.  I just so happened to look up to see a big bubble of water about to pop in the ceiling.  Daniel and I are not good with things like this, so we momentarily freaked out.  We called our dads and Derek to come to the rescue.  The problem wasn't obvious, so we had to cut open the ceiling and do some detective work.  Turns out, we had a leak in the guest bathroom on the second floor.  Daniel tightened a bolt, cracked the tank, and it slowly seeped down the side of the toilet, through the floor, and onto the ceiling below.  We now have to get a new toilet, have someone fix the drywall, and paint the ceiling (which connects to the kitchen, foyer, and office). This is NOT fun, convenient, or cheap!
