Apparently, it was not.
Guest bathroom before:
Thankfully, Luke was in the guest bathroom about 4 days later and noticed a dripping sound. Earlier in the week I had noticed that it smelled wet, but kept trying to find out why to no avail. He was able to trace the dripping sound up to our refrigerator-specifically-the pipe that connects to our ice maker.
Fantastic.
In the process of trying to find out the extend of the damage the sheetrock on the bathroom side of the wall collapsed. Had we touched the other side (our downstairs family room side) it also would have collapsed.
Right now we have fans blowing, and the toilet out...hoping to have it "workable" (if you don't mind a whole in the sheetrock behind you) for our company who is coming on Thursday.
These mishaps never occur at "convenient" times, do they? We are just thanking God that the damage wasn't worse, there is no mold, and we found it in time to fix it ourselves. Also, about 18 months ago I had torn off all the wallpaper in hopes of painting, and that project got put on hold indefinitely. I am so thankful I hadn't painted/redecorated only to find this mess!
Also. We have decided that we may never have gotten back to the project that is the guest bath (for various reasons, mainly that it was done as horribly as the dining room, and who wants to face that? AND out of sight, out of mind, right?) This will encourage us to tackle that project. Unfortunately, our dining room is on hold as well. I'd truly love to finish that before we switch our attention!
So, this post has a label called "home improvement"...in realization that it gets worse before it gets better....
Guest Bathroom after:
Yipes! Oh the joys of home ownership :p Fun to hear about your projects! Take heart...I was reading about home improvements recently and was reminded that bathroom (and kitchen) improvements add the most value to your home monetarily! :)
