She Should Have Used The Truck

Since the weather forced CMV to stay inside for most of the day, she decided to do a little bit of investigative work. She went into the bathroom and removed one of the sheets of paneling. What she found was very interesting.





Behind the bathroom paneling, was a mixture of old linoleum tile, drywall holes, rusty pipes, and water damaged wood. I can take care of replacing the bad wood, and hanging drywall. CMV can install tile on the walls and for the shower. My problem is trying to make sense of the plumbing system. We have a mixture of galvanized pipe, plastic PVC, flexible hose that resembles large aquarium tubing, and who knows what else. We may have met our match on this one. I am seriously considering calling a professional plumber.

Once CMV was ready to leave, she planned to take the scraps of paneling with her, only to discover it would not fit in the car. She should have used the truck this trip.

Storm Coming In

This past weekend, we didn't drive up to the cottage. CMV made the trip by herself on Monday since she had the day off. She drove most of the way in a rain storm, which added to her travel time. Here are a couple pictures that show the storm front as it rolled through the area.
