bathroom ceiling, big girl pants, CPP, good day, ice dam, insurance policy, poor me, purple hyacinth

three things happened today…

found out that I hadn’t lost the form from CPP… apparently you have to get them online now… thankfully my accountant let me know before I had to ransack the whole house…

my insurance broker brought me the documents and card for the new health benefits… nice to have that in place…

 

bathroom ceiling...

bathroom ceiling…

 

I’ve been able to get past the poor me business about the ice dam… water has stopped dripping into the bathtub, and how lucky was it, that the leak was over the tub… the roof is nearly clear of snow, and the water is going down the eavestroughs… once it is all dry I will have someone in to replace the ceiling in the bathroom… will need to have someone check out the integrity of the roof and see if it will last for another few years…

purple hyacinth...

purple hyacinth…

and the hyacinth is opening and it is purple…

all in all, seems like a pretty good day…

dripping…

beloved, big girl pants, ceiling, dripping, ice dam, meltdown, snow, snow blowing

this morning I went outside to do a bit of shovelling so that I could get to the hot tub…

it was warm, amazingly, and water was dripping from the various icicles which were hanging across the back of the house…

took a few pictures while I was out there…

this one shows how the snow was actually melting along the edge of the deck…

a bit later I went to have a shower and discovered water dripping from the ceiling into the bathtub… realized that it was from an ice dam that I had been taking pictures of earlier…

called and consulted with my son-in-law and he agreed he would look at it when they arrived for dinner…

had a bit of a poor me meltdown wanting my beloved to be here to look after me and fix this…

later the kids had some fun in the snow while their daddy blew lots of it out of the driveway…

then there were ladders, hammers, roof rakes, and long bars as the two oldest boys tried to get rid of the ice dam…
