There's Good News and Bad News...

Actually, I lied about the good news - there's only bad news.

Pete went to the shop today to repair the flexihose under the sink and the broken bit in the shower.  He found that, having done that and turned the water on, there were SEVERAL other leaks.  One at least is behind the shower tiles, so it looks like it will be an expensive job to repair everything.  It is very depressing.

Also. he checked the fusebox, now that things have had a chance to dry out and thinks that there are two major fuses which have failed, due to the water.  I will have to get a plumber in to repair the plumbing and an electrician in to do the fusebox and goodness knows how much that will cost me!

Even when they have done their jobs, there will be general building work needed to repair the building damage - like replacing the wall of the shower and re-tiling, and re-doing the ceiling of the kitchen, as it will almost certainly need to come down to repair another leak which seems to be somewhere there...

Why me?  I keep asking myself that question...

  1. Hi Penny sorry to hear your bad luck. But you do not need to take the tiles of the wall to fix the shower leak, as you can get at it from the outside and I sent you photos of where the pipes are.

  3. Oh my goodness, no wonder you are wondering 'Why Me'?! You have certainly had your fair share of it. All I can say is, that I hope with all my heart, you can get the repairs done soon and it will all be behind you. Kindest regards

  5. Hi Penny,

    Hope you get this!

    Your lovely shop looks(ed?)like a little gem! Have you really closed? Hope not. Anyway, went back and read some of your older posts and you have had a real adventure, for sure.

    Thanks for visiting me today. Hope to see you again!
