We have yet another house project! We found a small leak in our downstairs bathroom. Apparently, the toilet is actually possessed by the devil and hates us. We found the leak when we, innocently, walked into the dining room and squished through the puddle that had appeared. My dear husband (D-man) had been home for two days with a bad back and I thought, "d$@*, you could have at least thrown down a paper towel and stood on it to soak up the wet!" See, I thought he'd been a "man" and ignored something he spilled. He thought I had been in a hurry that morning heading to work and forgot I'd spilled something. HA-HA joke's on us! As you can see, the toilet is pitting us against each other!
Come to find out, the toilet (with which D-man has been fighting since we moved into the house) was leaking from the refill pipe (yes, I'm very technical) and the bathroom was semi-flooded at the back wall (there's a slight incline in there. Apparently, the potty is trying to escape back to it's home in hell) and ran into the dining room. Fortunately, it didn't make it to the china cabinet and warp the wood. However, it did try. It was headed there.
Luckily, we caught it in time and decided that if we were going to take the carpet up in the dining room (and who puts carpet in a dining room anyway???) that we should go ahead and do the foyer...if we're doing the foyer we might as well do the hallway... and since we're doing the hallway, we should probably do the living room, too. Then we went and priced it and decided to do it in two sections. Part 1: Dining room & hallway/foyer. Part 2: Living Room, but not until Fall or Winter.
We're going to be putting in either hardwoods or the Pergo wood/laminate flooring. So, we'll see. It most likely won't be completed this weekend. Knowing us, you should probably not make any Christmas plans with us either.... Wish us luck!
