 I thought today was going to be great since they were starting to do my new floors today....then it happened !!!!   The man who was putting a shower in my front bathroom discovered that there was water damage ( water under tiles in hall also ).....the wall behind my bathtub was damaged by water and then when he cut a hole in the sheetrock to do the plumbing he noticed the bad thing.....I have a 6" pipe that is totally rotted out inside the wall.    That has been overflowing and ruining my tiles.    In fact it ruined my bathtub.    The feet had rotted off and the drain was rotted also.     SO I can't imagine how much more this will cost us.    And this is NOT covered by my homeowners insurance.   I have spent the biggest part of today crying and almost had a anxiety attack.   I am praying that the man who owns the company will have pitty on us and not take one of our arms or legs for payment.  Please guys pray that it won't cost me that much more.   With having to replace the bathtub and then all the rest.....well.....I am hoping it won't make me have a heart attack when they tell me how much it will cost.    Thanks ya'll !!!

 Thanks so much July,   I guess I wanted symphany !!!  LOL   It is costing us $3000 more than the insurance is giving us to replace the floors to get the highest grade of Italian Porcelan that they carry then for the added expense of adding a shower to my front bath....then this !!!  Just has really upset me.   Hubby is OK with it but I am just devistated !!!   I will be OK though.   At least till I know how much all this will cost us !!!

 Thanks Mel,   

It did make me feel better when my husband came home and LOVED the new tile they are putting in.    LOL  Although I am STILL blown away by the findings in the front bathroom....at least we found it before it had done major damage..at least the 2x4's are not damaged.   Oh well on the bright side.....this all has made me realize that my stuff is just stuff and I am going to have a mega garage sale !!!   Thanks for the prayers....I may need them later on today when the guy tells me how much THIS is going to cost us to repair.   We had not budgeted for any of this.    Oh well....that is life !!!

Viv,

That sucks!  I'm so sorry.  But try to put it in perspective.  it's only money.  You'll be okay ... a little broker maybe ... but okay nonetheless!

 Thanks Vicki,

It could have always been alot worse.    I know that......hopefully it won't cost that much but it is a plumber doing the work so I am expecting the worse then if it isn't too bad I will be happy.   LOL   The good to it is my house is going to look so much better.   Although the entire house is a disaster right now.   My poor doggies don't know what to think.    I had to lock them out into the back yard yesterday so the guys could work.    Can't do that today though.....too wet and rainy.   Don't want to freak them out.     I know it will be OK !!   I am thankful that there wasn't any more damage than there was though.    


Hugs and blessings !!!!  Vivian

Oh Honey...I know how ya feel. We had a similar leak under our bathroom sink. It didn't leak onto the floor in front of the cabinet where we would se it. Oh NO, it crept along two walls in the adjoining bedroom and into the hall. We don't know how long it had been leaking but the hardwood floor under the carpeting is completely rotted, as is the wooden baseboards. It was all discovered after our house flooded about a month ago and we were ripping up carpeting. We are slowly replacing it all ourselves. Right now, if I had the money, I'd bulldoze this old house and build a completely metal one...NO WOOD allowed!  LOL!

Don't fret....you know God doesn't give you more than you can take...and isn't it amazing what we can take sometimes?!?! Turn it over to Him and it will all workout.
