Our sink decided to leak, and we now have a ruined kitchen cabinet, sink, and wood floors in our kitchen and living room. It is a complete mess, and the wood floors are warped and ruined. We have had someone come out and give us a bid, and we sent the bid immediately to our insurance company. That was two weeks ago, and we are STILL waiting for them to approve the cost so we can move forward with the repairs. I'm really hoping they get back to us soon, because I would love to get this done over my spring break! But, it is not looking good...
In the meantime, we are spending too much money eating out. It is really hard to cook anything in the kitchen when you can't use the kitchen sink! When we do cook at home, the dishes pile up because we can't easily clean them and put them away. When we do want to rinse anything, we make trips to the bathroom with a giant bowl, fill it with water, and pour it into stuff in the sink. It's really starting to get old (and smelly).
Tonight, we finally had enough and did the dishes...19th century style (minus the whole running water in the house thing...) At least we didn't have to fetch water from the well! :-)
We took the dishes outside and rinsed them in the spigot outside the house...
Then we took them inside to the bathtub and washed them with soap and warm water...
It was quite a chore, but at least now everything is clean!! :-)
