They started to rip up our bathroom this morning. It was supposed to be a three day job, where we would still have a toilet and shower to use each night after they left. No biggie, just a minor inconvenience while they were here during the day. All well worth it to no longer have mold in our bathroom.
Well, not even half an hour into the job of ripping up the vinyl floor and the thin plywood over it, they found BEAUTIFUL white marble tile, original to the house. Whatever idiot covered gorgeous marble with sheet vinyl..... grrrr!!! I would love to keep the marble tile but we have to rip it up to get all the mold under it. I could cry over the thought of this :o
Now we need to renegotiate with the insurance company so they cover the additional charge of tearing up tile, removing the radiator, replacing all the walls (because the guy said its up the walls too, which they originally didn't think was the case) OMG... I can't even think of what's going to happen if they won't cover the additional labor. I sure hope the contractors can set up a payment schedule ;)
*sigh*
It gonna be an interesting few days. And smelly! You should smell my bathroom. I thought the mold I saw was bad!!! :eek: And without access to a full shower I will be rather smelly in a few days. Sponge baths only do so much. I can see it now.... washing hair in the kitchen sink and taking a bath in Cam's baby pool. :p
I called hubby at work about this and he laughed. He said, "nothing ever goes as planned for us, does it?" Nope, but thats what makes life interesting!
