If your dog didn't pick up anything, try S-T-R-E-S-S. You know, rashes are tricky ;) Does it look like chunky dandruff? I recall when I went away (2 weeks), and came back and my dog's almost entire body was covered with this scaly dandruff. I thought it was from being allergic to stitches (She had a minor growth taken off her back, just before I left)because that's where the 'dandruff' started... The irony was that I saw a tiny area of 'dandruff' starting before I left. When I got back she was covered. The poor baby started stressing BEFORE I left. She was soooo smart. I purchased a new suitcase and placed it in the spare room. She knew what the suitcase meant and started stressing that I was going to leave her. When I got back she was a mess. Anywhoo, the vet placed her on some awful shampoo with charcoal , I think. I really had to work it in. She didn't care for it. After 3 washes it was gone. I don't recall if she got a shot of a steroid, but maybe she did. Most dogs do. Give her lots of love , attention, and extra kisses ;) While waiting for your vet appointment,if you are really in hurry to relieve her itch,you can use Aveeno (BLUE TOP is the best. Aveeno has many products, so be careful which one you pick up. It's confusing) ) BATH AND SHOWER OIL. No matter what she has it won't hurt her. It relieves itches. People use it. I have a bottle at home for all kinds of doggie remedies. Work the the Aveeno in for 5 min or so. Rinse 75% of it off. Leave a film of it on. That will keep her skin moist. Let us know how you make out.

gorbelly Yep, they're my grandfather's plants from that other thread. Who would've thought that that sickly seedling on the brink of death would have gone on to become a thriving (regardless of its current issues) monster in the making. Maybe 'thriving' is a relative term in this case, but it's certainly come quite a long way. I've found a space outside where I can grow maybe 2. My friend doesn't know if she'll be staying where she currently lives or if she'll be moving, but she expressed a willingness to take some plants if she ends up staying. But, even if she doesn't, I'll be able to get a couple in the ground. You asked where I am: 6B (southwestern Pennsylvania) stevie Thank you for posting that picture. Goodness gracious... looks like I should hold off on clipping suckers for a while, otherwise I'm just going to end up with the same problem!

Question: was the warping there BEFORE the recaulking/regrouting was done? No? OK so we know the disturbance of the caulking/grout started this whole thing. I would say the original company should be contacted to get their side of the story. What they had to do to get all the old caulking off and then add new caulking. The names of the products they used and if any deep scouring of the caulking had to be done. Rotary tools (like dremels) can pierce the water proofing membrane underneath, leaving areas of weakness that are susceptible to moisture (if it gets below the moisture barrier the water will follow wood joists to the lowest point on the floor and then start dripping down). If your floors OUTSIDE the bathroom are LOWER than the point of the water intrusion, then the water will simply flow down hill. If it is possible, you may have to look from underneath to find out where the water is coming from. A phone call to the stone company would be well worth it. This is where I would start: information gathering about techniques, tools and materials used.

So this is all really interesting; what we figured out, (with the help of all of you) is the house, built 10 years ago by dude named Terri, was possibly not wired perfectly. Although I really have not had other problems with it except a propensity for breakers to trip when I run my vacuum cleaners. I buy the house, I do a renovation that was precipitated by a water leak so panel had to be inspected etc. I ask the licensed electrician to add a simple light over the laundry sink, so they were tying that in to an existing 3-way switch on a regular breaker. Not a huge deal.... When they came in the day before inspection to test with AFCI, they were getting the nuisance trip. Journeyman was on the phone for an hour with Mike B the master electrician/owner. So they faked the inspection, and then called me and told me they were removing the breaker and replacing it with a normal one but it was perfectly safe. I think the only reason they bothered to tell me is that I was onsite and working myself and asking questions....plus I had to be there for the inspection and they wanted me to call them "as soon as the inspection was over." They were nervous about it. That's when I told Mike I would like to pay him to do it properly. He never did. Then he became quite difficult showing up to finish the rest of the work, so I am going to give him one more chance before I hire someone else to finish and attempt to back charge him for the work not done. I agree that this will most likely not burn my house down. I have been told that by several electricians at this point (including here) that is the case. But I very well might sell my house sooner rather than later and it will be tough to hide that there was a major renovation within the last few years. Plus the money I was charged! to spend 5K for some minor work and then not have the house to code when you are done seems insane to me. I called L & I and they were all over it. Wanted to send a field inspector out immediately. I declined to give the details and told them I would call them back. It will be difficult for Mike to do business in our valley if word gets out that he fakes electrical inspections with the county. So although I hate to use the "nuclear option" I definitely have some teeth I can use against him if he refuses to finish my job or correct the situation. The county will be pissed and the state will go after him too. He already has a license violation in 2018 for excessive ratio of apprentices to journeymen. (and yes I know this infraction is quite common in the construction world but charging the customer $150/hour for an apprentice is sleazy) Agree with M- he should have honestly described what was doing and and discussed options to correct it instead of lying to me and the inspector. I guess we will see what happens. Thanks.
