...and the walls came tumbling down...

Last weekend my grandchildren were here visiting. We took them down to the local Sonic for a treat. When we got back we had a minor flood in the house. The youngest grandchild loves to play in the sink. She plugged the upstairs bathroom sink and left the water running while we were gone. It does have an overflow drain, but I guess it could not keep up. Needless to say the bathroom was FLOODED and the water was running through the floor and through the kitchen ceiling below. Luckily the kitchen ceiling is all paneled with those ugly clear lighted panels that come down easily ~ even when you DON'T want them to! Anyway ~ the floor was a layer of plywood covered with a layer of particle board. BIG mistake!! The particle board was like a sponge and had swollen up to twice its normal size. All that to say ~ now my bathroom "furniture" is sitting in my bedroom. The bathroom is totally gutted and we are starting over. The house is 30 something and we were wanting a new shower anyway...

...and maybe just maybe a new kitchen ceiling? hmmm.....
