Hello There!
Well the bad news is that my Hero Next Door did indeed have to smash his way in through the tiles to fix the leak. A washer on the water inlet into the toilet had perished and was causing the problem. He cut from underneath in the craft room first but concluded that he couldn't reach the problem and the only course of action was to smash.
What a difference a day makes! He fixed the leak, cut new tiles ~ luckily we had some spares ~ and he's added an (easily) removable piece of wood to the top "in case it happens again." I just need to grout around the replacements now.
Downstairs in the craft room he's patched the ceiling with new plasterboard and will skim over with plaster later on. For now things are drying out above.
The other good news is that Master Clicky passed his driving test yesterday. Apparently the examiner was extremely pleasant and they chatted away during the test! When he got in from work we sorted out the insurance on 'his' (Mr Clicky's old) car. He was however, a little reluctant to drive to work this morning, because we had snowfall during the night. He left a bit later, I told him to take it steady and he went off ok. Let's hope he gets home in one piece!
The snow has mostly gone now, and it's getting chilly. I have lots of dust to sort out in the bathroom.
Bye for now...........Clicky Needles.
Super efficient resolution - and congratulations to Master Clicky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great neighbour to have, he was like a whirlwind!
DeletePhew glad your lav is sorted! I love your sock knitting and your cardigan by the way - I will be tuning in to see them finished. Jo x
ReplyDeleteGood to see your leak all fixed so quickly, handyman next door is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI had exactly the same problem but the water leaked under
the adjoining wall and under the kitchen cupboards, ruined the kick boards because they were particle board.....so had to have all cupboards replaced due to future mold spore concerns.
Love my new kitchen but not happy with all the faffing about and dealing with an insurance company builder who just wanted a cheap, quick fix.
What a mess that toilet leak made, so glad you got it sorted before there was even more damage. Congrats to your son passing his test, that is a big step towards adulthood. Stay warm and dry.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the hero next door; what a handy neighbour to have! Congratulations to Master Clicky for passing his test. We have snow here too this morning, but I'm going nowhere! Love your kniting by the way. I learnt to knit socks on dpns, had a brief period using magic loop, but then decided I prefer the dpns after all. I find that magic loop is very handy for hat decreases and sleeves though. Stay cosy. xx
