Remember me? (update: more bathroom news)

[Kirsten]

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:

Wooo hoo! Progress already!

Oh Kirsten i really feel for you right now, with your illness, isolation you feel and what is going on with the bathroom, it seems never ending and so unfair, i too have health issues,so i know how low one can get at times, it is overwhelming at times, but i am so fortunate to have my husband and children around me, and a few friends,i can really empathise with you completely.

Is there a support group near you, maybe that might help you to get through the hard days,you might be able to make some new friends there who are closer by, just a thought.

I Certainly hope after all the inconvenience of the bathroom issues, you will indeed enjoy a more pleasant environment and health and well being.

Know even though i am thousands of miles away, i am thinking of you and wishing you a happier and brighter future with less sad days, and painfree days as well,sending you my love and a ton of positive vibes, you take care now.

P.S i always find my kitty girls, are there for me in times when i am so low,they always offer unconditional love and ask so little in return, not like our human friends and family lol.
