Leakage

Not sure I've mentioned this here yet - guess I could do a search - but oh well.  Content is content so here goes.  

For many months, there has been a 'mottled' section of my baseboard along my bathroom floor next to the shower.  The builder's customer service guy has come out a couple times - and he recently came out for the continued floor issues and we asked him to look at the baseboard issue again.  He didn't seem concerned.  

I marked where the mottling was when we first had him come check - and was able to prove that the mottling is spreading.  

We finally just sent a picture of the issue to the owner of the construction company who built the house - the always amazing Sam - and he wrote back very quickly 'that looks like water damage - I would like to come by to look at it'.  He was just here and is pulling our house specs to provide very specific details to the customer service guy and will have him 'crawl' the house - going underneath to see if he sees water.  And also pulling off the baseboard in the bathroom and the baseboard opposite behind the TV cabinetry in the room.  It will be a lot of work but we're glad they are doing it because we're pretty sure there's a teeny, tiny leak somewhere in the wall - and 2.75 years of shower use has created enough moisture to wreck a baseboard.  It's very likely wet within the wall and they will be knocking holes in the wall in strategic places to find the leak.  After they 'crawl' the house to search for water on the ground.

I'm worried there's mold (and so is the builder) but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.  

We're heading into a long, fun weekend of Atlantis - J. has a blackjack tournament tomorrow.  He plays at 11AM and normally, he would know if he has a chance of making the semi-final round - but the always changing things up Atlantis folks have added a twist.  If players swipe their players cards today, they will get an automatic entry into two wild card entries for the semi-final and final rounds.  Ingenious, right?  'Cuz now instead of leaving if we know J. won't be in the semi-finals, we'll have to hang out all day until the semi-final wildcard drawing at 3:45 and then the final wildcard drawing an hour later.  THEN if he doesn't get in, we'll head home.  They clearly are upping their game on keeping people in the casino as long as possible! 

Today, we'll do the swipe, play a bit (5x comp day so that's nice) and go to Peppermill to play there a bit as well.  It won't be a long day today but tomorrow definitely will.  We got a room for two nights mainly because we were feeling like 'there will always be snow - forever' - I don't think we'll stay over but I never say never.  We are definitely staying over next Wednesday for our pre-anniversary Lalapalooza.  I'm really looking forward to it!  

The weather is blue skies and sun and the snow melt happened fast.  We have zero snow in the front yard and just a bit in the back.  It's so wonderful to see the ground!  And the sky!!  Woot woot!  

Guess that's it for now - will get this posted.  Happy St. Patrick's Day!
