The Money Pits

The Waterloo Wellers and the Denver Nugents (Hey, isn't there a basketball team by that name?) all own money pits! See if you can guess whose house is whose:

House number 1...Currently, this house is waiting for new carpet (a floor air conditioner leaked and ruined the old floor. An attempt to install new carpet went awry (the carpet was cut wrong) and the lucky homeowner(s) is/are waiting for the second carpet delivery. The faulty floor model not only ruined the carpet but also the wood floor beneath it and some things in the basement. In addition, a bedroom ceiling caved in on top of the bed in that room. (Luckily, no one was in the bed at the time.) Plus, the house is HOT because the central air conked out which resulted in the use of the faulty floor conditioner. : (

House number 2...Currently, as I type, this house, too, is missing floor covering...and a bathroom...and several doors. Oh, and the kitchen appliances are in the living room. Good news...the plumber showed up at 8:30 PM!!! : (

House number 3...Currently...The basement stuff that was moved upstairs when the basement flooded was moved into the garage. It was then moved to storage when the house was listed for sale. In the meantime, the Christmas tree and several boxes of Christmas decorations and other misc. are still in the family room which is currently being used as a storage room. Meanwhile, the stuff that was in storage is now back in the house, currently in the dining room until the homeowner(s) decide(s) what to do with all of it. And finally, the garage too, is full of stuff and the garage door opener does not work, making it extremely difficult for the homeowner(s) to clean out the garage! : (


Lucky Derek...he rents an apartment. : )
