And despite the bumps and bruises of moving in and making nice with an old house, I have no doubt that you will have it in great shape in no time. Good luck!gina binahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169017682745143333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-15568878408605994482007-08-20T15:31:00.000-07:002007-08-20T15:31:00.000-07:00Our toilet flooded this week too!

It was $160, so good thing we could deduct it from rent! I'm sorry about the money pit. I would still love to come see your house this week, and maybe gimpy and I could help out!Beetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934698220916903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-1207297693481877422007-08-20T10:16:00.000-07:002007-08-20T10:16:00.000-07:00UGH!

The pipes under the bathroom basically spontaneously separated a week after we moved in. After further digging and fixing, we discovered a rotted subfloor and carpenter ants, so we just had to re-joist and re-subfloor the whole bathroom. We showered at the gym for about 2 months! I absolutely feel your pain! Hang in there, and good luck! If you have any old house questions, just ask me!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222256625945174432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-15694584592522665722007-08-20T10:07:00.000-07:002007-08-20T10:07:00.000-07:00Oh Liz!! Son of a...what a lame thing to have to ...Oh Liz!! Son of a...what a lame thing to have to deal with. When I first saw your 'Money Pit' pic I nearly died - my family loves that movie and we just watched it last week! Oh the pains of working on a house. I think you should tell me where these past owners are and I'll drive by and throw rocks at them, infest their basement with mice and cover their new bathroom in pink paint. Speaking of, why do people have pink bathrooms? When Cody and I were house hunting we saw at least 2 or 3 pink bathrooms. Man, hang in there. If anyone can turn that house around, it's you! I know it will look great.Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518302943799825895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-62117128824617588582007-08-20T07:59:00.000-07:002007-08-20T07:59:00.000-07:00Oh man that sucks!

But at least, like you said, you will be forced to fix the stuff (we just lived with the crap in our house mostly) and fortunately you found out about this sooner rather than later. Good luck with the renovations - can't wait to see it!Alifinalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673626950788910910noreply@blogger.com
