Not everything goes as planned
Sorry I've been gone so long. The wife got called in to work in the middle of her vacation due to a surprise audit of the facilites she's in charge of. So that sucked.
Our shower drain broke and flooded the inside of our walls and ceiling, the house smells like dirty wet mildew. I've been working with contractors and insurance adjusters to get the shit fixed.
Hopefully they'll get to work on it by Monday.
The wife kicked ass on her audit and got a lot of recognition so she gets to take her vacation next week uninterrupted...I think.
I should be back to posting and visiting like normal tomorrow.
Thanks for all the nice comments this past week.

Sounds like quite an adventure. I hope they get all of the mold out, and don't just slap fresh drywall over it...
Here's to hoping that your wife's vacation is a real break this time.
Oh, man, sorry about your shower. Hope it all goes well, and you get uninterrupted time with your wife next week.
Hmm. Sounds like with all that to sort out you'll not be back to blogging quite so soon [you know these things always take far longer than any human brain can fathom in advance]
Maybe you should take a second holiday whilst it's all being fixed [if only]
Cheers
Good Sunday afternoon to you Hammer !
Serious bummer about the flooded shower drain. I hope when everything is ixed that it smells clean and good. Does that bathroom have a window ?
Congrats on your wife's audit. Getting to take uninterrupted vacation is a good thing.
I left you 'special blessings' on my good girl blog today.
I'm taking a hiatus from it for a while (explanation is over there), BUT will continue to write my erotica blog !
Mark and I had our 7th date last Friday night (the 14th), and all seems to be well.
Psycho cop Mike (the not-really-ex, but kind-of, you know the whole story) is back.
I don't think he wants me; it's just the idea of someone else having me that seems to bug him.
Anyway, I do hope that you still come visit me and comment on Mhmmm Yes... I'll be by to visit you occasionally, and hope that life treats you nicely !

welcome back...blogging just isn't the same without the "hammer" ..lol.
So sorry to hear about the water problems...that doesn't sound like much fun at all.
Wtg and congrats to the wife on the audit. Hope she has better holidays this week.
Gees...that's tough. Good thing you are good with a hammer!
Oh man!!
Your house sounds like ours. Every time there's a problem, it involves water. Believe me, I know the shit that water leaks involve. You have my sympathy!
Your vacation was interrupted by an audit? Who the hell did you throw in a gas chamber in your previous life to earn that privilege?
good luck with the insurance bastards
Wow, good to have you back but sorry for the disastrous problems with the house. Doesn't take much to create a mess. Good luck and look on the bright side...contractors and insurance idiots make for good blogging fodder!
Hey Buddy!
Sorry about the trials- household stuff majorly sucks- congrats on the wife's recognition- very rare and far between in this day and age!! Kudos!!
We really missed ya!

Oh, Hammer- I have one a few back On Full-on about the pond- it's a mud puddle! There's a little retrospective there! I know how you followed it with baited breath! LOL!
Hey I saw your dad's ass in the well I think on Yahoo!!!!!

Sorry for your house trouble. I can sympathize! Good luck fixing it.
Woohoo! Hammer's back! Sorry about your shower drain, man. Sounds like a real mess. Congrats to your wife...
Sucks for your wife - they should give her a few days extra with pay not just for coming in but for having the audit go well. She's obviously a gem.
And the shower thing sucks - we had a similar problem once but never thought to call insurance. When Gary pulled down the drywall, a cloud of mold mildew was released - immediately, I couldn't breath - good thing our son is asthmatic - I ran upstairs and grabbed his puffer and had to stay there until everything was well bleached. I've had problems with mold away on holiday too. Good time to redecorate anyway if you need to look at a bright side.And your wife being off means she has time to figure out what she'd like.
Every once in a while life has to throw in a little "fuck you" in it. And you least expect it when it happens. Gl with getting eveyrhting fixed.
Sounds like fun. I hope your wife enjoys the rest of her vacation and such with you and kids when they are home. I know I enjoy when Jeff takes his but then again I love when he goes back to work. LOL.. He gets in my way.
Congratulations to your wife, and good luck with the home repairs.
Congrats to your wife, mine is scheduled for March (audit). Sorry about the flood! Watch your contractor like a hawk when he does the repairs - the molds that can grow in that environment are lethal.
i'm sorry i poured all that superglue down your shower drain. my bad.
Hey Hammer. Home ownership's downside bites you in the butt, huh?
Hope the second vacation goes better.
when it rains, it pours.
Glad she came throught he audit with flying colors.
See you soon!
We had a similar experience with our shower where the pipes were leaking inside the wall. What a mess. Hope you get things figured out without too much expense.
Welcome back! Put some candles on!
I wondered if you were on a break...sounds like kind of a moldy one.
Come back to the fresh, clean air of blogdom!
Welcome the heck back. Now can you tell me how to fix MY shower drain? Stupid shower drains.
I will forgive your absence. This time.
Mr H , it never rains but it pours..... in your case thru the walls :-) . I hope you get it all sorted out and have an excellent delayed vacation ith Mrs H .
Your wife is a very handy woman to have around. Hopefully she'll get her earned vacation and you can have her all to yourself.
You do not have to apologise to us - if you were off on another 'bender' you should just say so... (winks)
Holy cow! I'm so sorry about your shower! I'm glad to hear the wife's audit went well *phew*. Hopefully you two can enjoy some time together next week.
Sorry to ear about your shower water problems, when you own your own house, there is always something to be fixed,repared, done and it costs hell, it's so worrying. Enjoy your time together next week, hope there is no more audit coming.
Now you have to worry about mold in the future too. What a bummer.
Many well-earned CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Hammer! Well done and please enjoy your vacation, ma'am!
The one good thing about the shower drain mess is that it happened while you are at home so that it may be tended to ASAP! However, please make certain they get it all gone even if they have to replace more walls...it's the only way to ensure the mold is gone!
God Bless and don't give up!
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
The drain busted while you were away. Don't they always? Jebus!
