Remember me? (update: more bathroom news)

Kirsten as bad as this might sound I'm sort of praying that the whole kitchen has to be replaced as well as your bathroom. If you could find somewhere else to stay until the work is finished that would be great. From reading your posts I think you've been living in extremely toxic conditions for a long time.If everything is so rotted and has been for so long then removing and replacing everything is the only solution as bad as it sounds. I really believe a lot of your health problems are related to the mess they found and you can be sure you have black mold in there which is the worst thing you could be living in. Out here the landlady would be responsible for paying for other living accomodations while the work is being done but I don't know how it works out there. I hope everything will get done as fast as possible and you can get peace again.

I was thinking the same thing.

I so understand your frustration with mushrooms in your bathroom. I've had them in my basement.


I hope they get things done there for you pretty quick so things will settle down and you'll have a nice home when it's done.

Well, the carpenter is here right now, replacing the rotten wood in the walls and adjusting the window. Luckily, he could save the kitchen wall! And yes, he agreed that I lived in a very unhealthly environment. Okay, my health is ruined anyway, but I hope the girls will be alright!

Catlady711, I can feel your pain re. the mushrooms!
This is how mine looked like:



Totally disgusting, isn't it?

But in the end, it turned out these mushrooms were a good thing; if the tiles did not break and this did not happen, no one would have noticed the damage in the wall, caused by the window!


Oh, forgot to say... Luna and Lily are wonderful; they're in the bedroom with me, and they are really good girls and accept the situation without complaining. I'm so proud of them!!

Wow that's crazy

I'm glad your girls are being so good. Makes a stressful situation much easier to deal with.

Wow!!! Those mushrooms sure are big. I expected them to be very tiny and hardly noticeable. I hope that everything will go smoothly and that you'll have a brand new bathroom very soon. I'm glad that Luna and Lily are being such good kitties through all of this. I also hope that this will make a huge difference in your health for the better of course.

Kirsten, if the mold and unhealthy air were contributing to your health problems, luckily, when the construction is done and all the icky stuff gone, the cleaner air should actually help you feel better!

I am soooo glad the girls are being good about all this - that's a comfort at least!

[Kirsten]

I really hope I will feel a bit better, once this is fixed!
And yes, the mushrooms were big, it's disgusting!


Meanwhile, the rotten wood has been removed and replaced, and they have also adjusted the window. Tomorrow, they will do all the plaster work around the new beams, and will start building the setting for the new tub.


Here are some more pictures...

This one shows a part of the old surroundings of the tub after some of the tiles have been removed. You can easily see all the mold:




This is what my bath was looking like this morning, with the rotten wood around the window:




And the current state, with the new wooden beams, and foam around the adjusted window:
