It started raining inside our house.

We decided to replace the toilet in our main bathroom with a more water efficient version and do some reno and repairs in there at the same time.  The toilet was successfully installed and our contractors showed us the dual flush feature.  So nice.

Not so nice: an unplanned water feature began to issue forth from the lighting fixture in our kitchen nook; curiously right below the bathroom.  Oh no.

"I heard a lot of bad words in French and English." was Freya's report on the experience.

Seems something drain-related has broken and the contractors are going to have to "explore" by cutting open the walls and ceiling.  This is a rather unexpected cost.  We've been saving up to refurbish a portion of our basement into a "lair" for myself, and now that money has to go to this repair instead.

So, I'm putting my stuff on sale, and in an even cheaper bundle, to help with these costs and to try to replenish my "lair fund".  Also, the goal is a hopeful estimate price, so please spread the word, send games as a gift, or get something for yourself!

Lastly, the contractors can't get back until Tuesday, so that's a full weekend without shower, sink, or toilet.  Fortunately we've got a powder room with toilet and small sink... but you could barely wash a cat in it.

Wish us luck and thanks for your support!
