When we did the move in walk through after renting this house, we noticed that some of the tile work on the laundry room floor was loose. The laundry rooms sits beside the master bath and upon inspection, we could see that the tiles in the shower were starting to lift, which is never a good sign.
Sure enough, when we had a look from underneath, we could see heaps of water damage. Apparently, there was a leak. That was mid November.
Repair work was to have begun December 15th but communication wires were crossed and nobody showed up. Then, the holidays came. In New Zealand, people take the Christmas break pretty seriously. Lots and lots of small businesses are closed right through mid January as this is the summer, the kids are out of school and families tend to use this time to vacation. We didn't have a prayer of getting the shower fixed.
We were informed that February 2nd was the new start date and as it turned out, things didn't get started until the 7th. It's not a huge deal, of course, but it has sucked to be without a working master bath. Today, the job finished and tonight, after the silicon has dried, we can use our bathroom again.
This is our brand spankin', newly tiled, floor.
I am so happy, I may weep.
It really is the small things.
