Ahhh the joys of owning a home..

The past couple of months Jeff and I have had some fun in our house! We started to notice in our guest bathroom that the mirror and cabinet were coming away from the wall. We have also had a TON of our tiles crack.. and not just the grout. I think the last count I made there were 27 total, but could be more under our rug. We had the builder come and look and he doesn't know why our tiles are so bad and called the big guy to come and take a look. Homie rolls up in his pimped out land rover and after taking a look feels he wants to leave a better name for himself and is going to replace all of it!! Ok one problem down. At first he said that we would have to take care of the other problem in the guest bath because we did not maintain our draining system... causing the dirt outside our house to settle too much and having our block wall and outside house wall bowing into one another. Seriously not even a week after they came and looked we came home from our weekend away to this:

 
This is one of the archways in our living room/ entry/ office (yes it connected to all 3 rooms). They came back that Tuesday to take a look and decided to rip our block wall our because it was putting far too much pressure on our house and causing too many issues! So currently we do not have a wall on one side of our house and a nice crack in our archway.

This is just what two pieces of  tile as you can see how nice the cracks are... and to be honest these aren't even the worst!
Next was this:

Last week also brought a pretty good rain storm one night... when I work up and made the bed I felt some nice wet carpet under my feet. I called Jeff and he came home from work and had to work on our draining on the other side of the house and then we had to pull up the carpet to try and get the carpet dry. It took almost a week for it to be completely dry. For a while there I felt like everything was against us in this little home of ours. We love our house and all of this stuff happening was making me quite sad! Hopefully in the next couple weeks we will have it all fixed and back into tip top shape!!
