Our latest adventure (or in other words - no wonder we're sick!)

We want to put a bathroom downstairs after 31 years but first we needed to fix the leak in our shower. Did that ever open a can of worms! Or a mess of mold and dust! This is what we found when we pulled up the shower floor. Yuck!
And this is what we found when we pulled up the vinyl floor - along with a few more leaks!
We removed the whole floor . . .

Replaced it . . .

Took a rest or two. . .

Rented a huge 90 lb. jackhammer (this is the compressor it used)

And the boys spent Saturday taking out the cement floor in the basement. You can see the pipes are right in the middle of the floor and one of the drains is located under the stairs. Crazy!

I sure am glad I have great kids in this family. The guys have all been working hard to get things fixed and rebuilt - especially since Gary and I both have gotten the crud which I think is from all the junk that has been kicked up into the air.

The tile is laid on the floor of our bathroom. Our plumber is working downstairs on moving the plumbing and Gary and I are waiting for our dr. appt where we hope to get a nice shot and some cough med. so we will be all better soon.

Hey . . . at least I posted to this blog after several months.

Hopefully, this post will be continued soon (and I hope that is REALLY soon!)
