Operation: Money Pit

The title is now how Jay - lovingly - refers to the house.  Seems everytime we open up one area, we find several more things that need to be fixed.  No big surprise from an old house that has been neglected for the past decade.  The latest issue is the roof.  It is only about 14 years old, but where there's water, there's a way.  Water is not our friend at the moment.  Not only has it been down pour raining non-stop all weekend and flooding in every area of Western Washington, but the rain has allowed us to find several leaks in the roof of this blessed house.  Jay ripped out the wall around the tub and found water damage in the flooring.  OY!  Guess it's better to find it now so it can be fixed rather than have someone fall through the floor while taking a bath... 


Had the septic people out on Tuesday and of course, they found something that needed to be repaired....alas, even in the deepest, darkest, dirtiest areas such as an old septic tank, there finds a way into our pocket book.

Would really have to pay me a lot of money to do that job!

Work to the upstairs bathroom/shower began this week also.  Really looking forward to the results, as I always hated the shower!

Trying to find the beauty of this project and stay focused on the big picture, but it is becoming more and more of a challenge!  Stay tuned....
