The one fix that we needed sooner than later was the bathroom. The majority is in great shape, but the tile in the back of the tub was cracked, creating leaks into the basement and into the wall between the bathroom and our bedroom. When we first moved, we didn't have the cash to take care of it right away, SO, Duane found a temporary fix.
(sorry about the sideways look!)
It wasn't pretty, but it worked. And since it worked so well, we put off our repairs until very recently. Now that we are doing just fine paying our bills and making our livings, Duane decided it was time to fix it. (YEAH!) I got home from school one day and he told me it was ordered. A few days ago we got a card in the mail that said our new tub and shower surround had arrived...followed closely by a phone call that said they'd arrived damaged so they were re-ordering for us. Neither of us thought anything of it...but the current bathroom did. Apparently we hurt it's feelings or something because the temporary hold decided it wouldn't work anymore. We tried, but being unable to temporarily fix a temporary hold, we are now unable to use our shower until the new one comes in and is installed. AAAHHHH....
I guess it's a good thing that the original owner of the house was strange and didn't have a shower upstairs at all (it was installed by the second owner, from whom we bought the house). SO...although not convenient, we are not left without a shower. We are just required to shower in the basement until we can get our new one installed. Hopefully not too long, but certainly at least a couple of weeks. Sigh. Anyway, check our new temporary shower...
Ah well, at least we're both good-humored about this situation! I'll make sure to fill you in on the progress when it happens!
