My Bathroom

This is what started it all! A leak in the drain from the sink in the upstairs bathroom that thankfully, expanded to a leak from the bathtub drain before the plumber came. Talk about timing!

I was supposed to have all my drain pipe replaced and new water lines run in copper. That didn't happen as the pipes were more in the wall than in the ceiling. They would have had to tear out the wall in this bathroom, our den, the ceiling in the den, the bathroom upstairs, and the guest bedroom to get to the pipes.

The white PVC is what he did replace. The piece on the right, is where the trouble started.

And the gook from the inside of the pipes destroyed my walls. It also just reeks! My whole house smells like pipe gook! I have to prime and repaint. Not the plumber's fault, he was really good about covering what he could. I can't imagine I could keep it clean either while balancing on an 8 ft. ladder while cutting over my head with a Sawzall. Our next project is putting up a new drop ceiling with new crown mouldings.

The good news = my sink in the upstairs is now leak free.
