Puddle on the Floor

The other day we had a pretty hard rain storm.  It will do that from time to time here and it is a great day to say in and watch TV.  I will do almost anything to avoid driving in it but do like to sit out on the patio and watch/listen to the rain. 








At the end of this last storm I walked into our TV room to grab the baby's blanket and my feet got wet.  I moved the couch and there was a puddle of water in the middle of the floor.  How did this get there?  I began searching for the stream of water leading up to the puddle, or the stain on the ceiling from where it must have dripped.  But nothing.  We determined after finding some water in the far corner of the room, that it entered at the corner, ran under the tile under the floor and then when enough collected in the center of the room began to rise through the tile and eventually the carpet.  I can't wait to see how they fix this one. 

I can say this.  Life in the foreign service is NEVER boring.  Even when you are 'just' a stay at home mom, playing with the baby all day long.

  1. Whenever we have a leak we are told they can't fix it while it is still raining. As soon as it is done raining, they can't fix it because they can't figure out how the water came in when it was raining. Pretty convenient, huh?
