Helper's Shower Helps
10:00 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
We left Atlanta for our journey here 3 weeks ago today. It wasn't until 2 nights ago that I was brave enough to go in to the helper's area (which is a separate room off of our garage and is still vacant). Jeff would only remember to ask me if I wanted to see it at night and I didn't trust him not to want to "scare" me out there. I just had visions of ghost and rodents and squatters in there but I was able to buck up and go see the area. Actually very nice. But if anyone would have told me that I would be taking a shower out there at 9 p.m. tonight then I wouldn't have believed them! Trust me - it was a quick one!
We've had a few minor things happening with our house since we arrived here - loose pipe on the washer, gas burner not lighting, water leak off of the roof - all fixed within reasonable amounts of time. But this.....the hot water boiler is kaput! They've ordered another but it will be a "little while" before it's here and installed (whatever that means). So in the meantime, we are having to use the helper's shower because it has a tank-less water heater. At least we have that to turn to; though I'm sure Ethan's bath tomorrow night should be an interesting one! We'll keep you updated as we are on this one.
Stay tuned this week for my "Helper's Interviews" experiences! Funny but frustrating. I'll do my best to explain how Foreign Domestic Helpers work here and why it's customary as well. Hope you all have a wonderful week! Missing you all very much - and grape jelly!
