Of course there have been a few house issues.. When I got home from Seattle there was a distinctive bad smell everywhere. After moving out the garbage and doing the moldy dishes the smell still lingered. I figured it was just because (oddly) Waterloo in general wasn't smelling good but after several days I came to the conclusion there definitely was a smell problem. I then examined the dishes of mouse poison I had laid out earlier in the summer; they were surprisingly low. Upon closer examination there was mouse stuff all our my study. So I got the vacuum out and cleaned it up. I then spent an evening moving everything around trying to find the rotting corpse but I couldn't find it and so the smell has lingered but gradually diminished.

Other house problems include one of the fridges breaking two weeks ago. Fortunately it was only a $85 repair. If you've been keeping track I've thrown out three fridges since moving in here.

Also on the weekend construction started on the basement and one of the pipes burst in the basement and one room flooded. This flooding caused the hot water heater pilot light to go out and so yesterday there was no hot water. Today we were woken up very early with sawing, hammering and drilling. The water is also off again for more plumbing work.
