I love Carl because he is handy around the house and can fix the hole that is in my bathtub. Also, he did not get that upset about the water leaking into the bedroom carpet.

I let the two little boys and Tirzah play in the tub yesterday. There was no water in it but they were having so much fun just running their hot wheel cars up and down the sides of the tub. Unbeknownst to me there was an accident and a little hole was made in the side of the tub near the bottom. I did not see it when I filled my bathtub up that evening. We started noticing water on the carpet and could not tell where it was coming from. We thought it might actually be the plumbing itself and were getting upset at the thought of all the money involved. The water was still leaking out. We did not want to let the water out if it was plumbing. I had Esther turn the fan off in my room so I could hear what was going on. I bent down on the side of the tub and heard the water leaking out. I then found the hole. We were then able to let the rest of the water out while I plugged the hole with my finger. Carl had to spend the evening trying to get the carpet dry and putting a hole in the wall to see what water damage was done inside the walls. We put fans near the wet area and are hoping we caught everything in time. I am praying that the carpet and the floor and ceiling are able to be saved. My dear sweet husband had to spend the night on the floor with his sore knee. Tonight he has to go home and see what else he can do. I think he is going to take the shop vac up and then also try to patch the tub. I am so thankful for a husband who can do things like that.
