Come home from Home Depot. (Ironic, I know)
Go to the kitchen to clean up.
Find water on the countertop; not the first time, but more plentiful than usual.
Call in darling husband to inspect.
Open above cabinet.
Notice one droplet of water.
Follow drop to ceiling.
Hamster starts running on wheel in mind.
Realize that the ceiling is actually the unused bedroom upstairs.
Ponder what up there could cause such dripping.
Hear darling husband cuss from upstairs.
Follow the curses up the stairs.
See DH standing over huge bubble in the closet floor.
So yeah, the upstairs AC sits in the bedroom's closet. A condensation pipe has apparently been dripping for at least a month onto the same spot in the closet floor. The carpet was moldy (just great), so Justin started pulling the carpet up.
Wet particle board. Yuck.
Wet moldy particle board. Even better.
So we proceeded to rip up every ounce of particle board in the closet, wet or dry, and tear out the carpet. To our amazement, there were beautiful lemon colored hardwoods underneath all of the particle board. At least some good news came out of this almost incredibly horrible situation. There are hardwood floors underneath the blue carpet, and that is very exciting indeed. However, no matter how awesome that may be, surprise home renovations are never happy things.
