There goes my garden budget...
Comments (21)Plumbing is all fixed and the drywall is repaired! Of course, there is drywall dust EVERYWHERE but I took today off (that why I'm on the computer) to clean, clean, clean. Since there were holes in the walls of almost every room, there's drywall dust coating everything in every room. Ah well, it all needed a good spring cleaning anyway. The poor plumbers thought the job was going to be one day and that's how it was quoted. But it ended up taking 4 long days - they were here until 8pm 3 nights. But there was no additional charges for the problems they ran into. Can you believe that? They could not get through the connection to the kitchen sink because of a weird T connection under the slab, so instead of breaking through the floor and the tiles in the middle of the kitchen they broke through the slab in the garage, then pulled out the dishwasher (again) and broke through under that; then they pushed through a new pipe from the garage to the kitchen and came up in the space under the dishwasher, then through the side of the cabinet into the under-sink space. On Thursday the drywallers came in and did a great job repairing every hole and mark. I'm impressed. The only problem I still have is missing fixtures from one of the showers. Just gone. I'm sure it got tossed out with broken tiles and other trash. For all the extra work they had to do I'm not even going to ask them about it. Maybe when I'm at H0me Dep0t picking up a new fixture I can swing through the garden shop... I have family coming in from out of town tonight for a weekend stay so I better get back to housecleaning. Yuk. I would rather be in the garden!...See More1998 Honda Civic 250,000 miles using antifreeze

Comments (1)Unless there are leaks in the overflow piping, there should be no problem...you're right about how the overflow should operate and what its purpose is. Does this only occur when you are taking a bath? Often, the wall penetration for the tub spout is not properly sealed and water from splashing during showering runs down the wall, gets through the wall, and drips onto the ceiling below. Is there a shower in this bathtub that might be doing this?...See Morearkansas girl
