The Bathroom is Done
Everything is in place. The last step was the vanity top. Because it was custom made it took the longest to get done but now it’s in. I even ended up with new fixtures when the holes for the faucet were drilled at 8 inches instead of 4 inches. But it was worth it. Ceiling, vent fan and light, walls. floor, cabinets and vanity! I’m soooo happy! Even Balboa & Banner have added their stamps of Approval.

The Last Straw
I wasn’t allowed to enjoy my new and improved bathroom for long. That leak no one could see- well it’s back. I got off work yesterday and headed to the bathroom before I planned to feed the cats and get settled for the evening and I heard this plink, plink. plink. I though maybe someone was working on a bathroom in another unit but then a drop hit me in the head! The plink was water dripping on the top of the metal waste basket! I grabbed towels and quickly wiped up the floor where I now saw a puddle of water. Then I put a Tupperware container under the drip to catch the water. It was running down from the vent fan at a pretty good clip.
My next step was to call the HOA maintenance man. He called the unit owner above me and he came down to look right away. This time no one could say it was my imagination. Once I had the unit owners agreement to pay for damages I sent a text to my contractor. He’ll be out to look over the damage on Wednesday. I can’t believe I had the bathroom less than 2 weeks and got another leak! Stay tuned for more adventures of remodeling in a condo!
Very sorry about the leak, however I love the new bathroom. I hope they fix that leak very soon so that it doesn’t do any damage. Keep the faith. Nothing ever comes easy to this family.
The ceiling dried out with minimal damage. After much discussion I decided it was more work to pull everything out again to fix such a small area. The leak was alleged to be from a running toilet and was fixed. The best I can do is be happy that my complaints about the leak (that no one could fine) have now been proven. I love the bathroom too. I really had no idea how it would come out when I started. I was kind of working with no real idea in my head. The contractor did a good job!
