Money Pit

I remember the euphoria I felt when I first bought my home.  The house, while older, was absolutely beautiful.  As my husband always says, "it has character." 

And as I slowly come to realize how much of a money pit it is I find I still love my home, but am not sure I can afford it.  In the two months we have lived here we have found out that we have a cracked slab and sinking foundation, our AC unit broke down yesterday and today we found out that the kitchen sink is leaking water.  On a good note though my husband bought me some beautiful flowers to make me feel better. 

I didn't quite do a pin today so much as utilize a variety of pins I had in my handyman board on plumbing and how to fix a leaky faucet in order to pinpoint where the leak was actually coming from.  I have found that the leak is coming from the sprayer, I think.  We noticed when we first used the faucet in the kitchen that the sprayer handle had a crack in it and would shoot water out at you when the faucet was running.  We stupidly did a quick fix and wrapped electrical tape around it.  Now the sprayer leaks water down the side in a trickle and I think this water is then somehow flowing under the faucet and then under the sink.  So number one for tomorrow, we need to get a new sprayer from Home Depot and replace it to see if that fixes the leak.  I believe it will, but we will find out tomorrow.

Too emotionally drained to do much else today.  Wish me luck for tomorrow.  It can only get better from here, right?
