Our Bathroom

So, over the holidays we discovered that the toilet in the main floor bathroom is leaking. We never noticed before because it was leaking right into the laundry tub. Rob only found out because he was down there and someone flushed. So he decided to pull up the toilet and see if it was just the wax ring (what we were hoping). Well...after pulling up the ceramic tile (and breaking more then half) we realized that the sub floor was rotten right through under the toilet! Real Safe!!
So we made a trip to Home Depot to get supplies. We discovered that they do not make the same size of tiles (at Home Depot anyway). Our bathroom...front hallway...and kitchen are all the same tile.
We are making a call to the insurance company today and we are hoping that they will replace the whole floor for us otherwise we will just replace the bathroom and match the floors later this year. We are also hoping that they will cover the cost to have someone fix it so that Rob doesn't have to!!
I can tell you that having only one bathrrom with a family of fou plus 5 daycare kids really sucks!!
I will keep you posted on the progress.
