It's all about perspective

This is my family room floor.  Yes, that's subfloor.  No, it's not a new decorating trend.  The toilet in the kids' bathroom overfilled, probably for a few hours and damaged the carpet in one bedroom and the wood floors in the hall and family room.  The vinyl in the bathroom had to come up so the floor could be completely dried. We'll also need to replace the cabinet due to water damage at its base.

On the upside, I get to update the bathroom and have my wood floors refinished.  As my sister-in-law says, "Is anybody in the hospital?  Is anybody in jail?  If the answer to both of those questions is 'no', it's not that bad."

It's all about perspective.

Repairs to our bathroom

At last! Our bathroom is being repaired from the water damage last month. A pipe burst in the upstairs bathroom, sending a stunning amount of water running down the walls of the master bathroom. All the moulding is being replaced and the room is being repainted.

Aw, shucks! I can't clean the bathroom this morning.
