Dead Car & Water Damage
Our red pontiac has been out of commission for a while. Isaac decided to take a day (turned into 2) to try and fix it. We started with the ignition switch, then found the solanoid to be out (by the way, I really don't know how to spell any of this) or was it the starter... then he found a hole in the water pump. That alone to pay to fix is 1,400 bucks. Then he figured our fuel pump probably is shot too. We looked up trade in value.... drum roll.... $700!!! Yay. So, can we say "kidney car"? We were at Isaac's parents trying to fix the car, we ended up staying over a few nights and when we got home, we realized the sprinklers in front of our apartment had been on since we left 3 days earlier! Isaac figured out how to turn them off. Then, we noticed a really funny smell in our room. We looked all over for diapers, or dead mice, or anything that could stink like that and found the corner of our room all wet. Carpet and drywall will probably need some work (thanks to our neighbor's little boy who had been seen messing with the sprinklers-innocent until proven guilty, right?). Our bed is in the living room:)
