Both sad and happy today!

We had a slow leak

From our kitchen faucet

For a few weeks and didn’t

Know it!

Anyway today 36 years

Of our basement has been

Gutted and tossed in

A huge dumpster…

The dumpster is full and

Carpet and paneling

Hasn’t been removed yet…

Since I have bone on

Bone knees I don’t travel the

Steps and the leak followed

The ceiling and carpet

So it never got near the sump

Pump in the back left corner

Of the unfinished part…

We will put alarms in the

Basement when we rebuild

So this never occurs again…

No rain, no tornado

Just a leak in the 20 year

Old Faucet…And it has a lifetime

Warranty…

Great the faucet company

Is paying for the $200+ faucet…

And I’m sure our water bill

Will go down…

And my basement will be cleared

And cleaned of all problems

But 36 years of fun

Kids, parties, are gone

Gotta make sure they

Saved the pictures…

Still wonder about the treadmil

And Victrola! An original

Edison with a crank and allot of thick

Records from the early

1900… should they stay

Or should they Go???

Need an antique dealer…

At this age I never expected

To be dealing with this…

Maybe its time for us to move

On except we have two attics

And umpteen closests that store

Too much…

Time for death cleaning

As the Swedish call it!

Or getting rid of everything

That doesn’t bring me joy!!!

Like the kitchen!!!
