The good: a plumber came today and replaced the old, nasty, leaky drain assembly
with a spiffy new non-leaky one
The bad: Apparently the leaky drain assembly was only half our leaky problem. The other half is the tiling around the tub wall, which as you can see, could use a little work. Since the result in water leaking into our Cupboard Under the Stairs getting poor Harry's head wet
Which means the scary, we're going to have to hire someone to do the work, because there's no way in hell I'm re-tiling and re-grouting the bathtub. Just ain't gonna happen. And while we knew in principle we'd have to find someone to do work on our house, I've been stalling, because I just hate hate hate finding someone to hire. HATE! I always feel vulnerable, because I can't tell the sleazes from the good guys and I live in terror of getting ripped off.
But it has to be done. And sooner than later.
