Upon reading of the toilet paper capers, my initial thought was along the lines of "Boy, these rotten kids today." Then I remembered my mother telling me that as a toddler I sprinkled a can of Old Dutch Cleanser all over the living room sofa. With that in mind, I have softened my assessment to "Kids will be kids."

We haven't had anyone come in to look at it yet since it was the weekend and it wasn't an emergency. There is a jacuzzi tub in that bathroom with a wooden frame and it looks to me like the water drained through the corner where the wooden frame meets the wall near the toilet. They didn't quite get that sealed properly. The news is that it is obvious this happened before since the water this time revealed what appears to be a hasty repair job on the ceiling. A lot of water spots and a couple of patch jobs. The adjustor comes out today or tomorrow to check out the damage. It's not catastrophic, but extensive enough that if it isn't insured we'll have to go after the sellers and the inspector. Two light fixtures may have to be replaced, there will need to be extensive repairs to the ceiling, something's going to have to be done in the bathroom to get to the root of the problem (which obviously wasn't done last time; they just repaired the damage), and a lot of work done on our piano. It will need to be refinished and an octave's worth of keys are stuck. Stephen just used too much toilet paper. With two boys the ages of ours, I'm sure this will happen often. It shouldn't destroy everything below, though. I spent all day Saturday trimming hedges. My upper body is sore.
