As work started on our next living room projects, (new flooring and ceiling repairs) it was time for the familiar refrain to begin chiming in my head.
More work.
More time.
More money.
.
.
Because when carpet and padding was removed in the bump out addition section of the room…
.
.
Damaged floor was discovered. At this point in the continuing saga our renovation nightmare? I expected no less.
.
.
One section was particularly troubling.
.
.
It’s a complete mystery to how or even when this damage occurred.
.
.
The door we just replaced on the right leaked at one time so that would explain water damage on that end…
.
.
But we found bad spots here and there under the windows as well… which could have been caused by the old windows we replaced years ago because though it was damaged, it was completely dry.
.
.
But while the bad spots to the right were dry, that nasty black spot on the left was damp.
And that’s not good.
😩

River's world..... 
Oh no!

Well the renovation nightmare continues!! Sorry to hear that, I thought this part might be a bit smoother than the window replacement debacle. The hubs in that picture looks mad and bewildered all at once. I would be too, but damn girl, your house is cursed….lol.

At this point it’s to be expected.
But that doesn’t mean I have to like it..

I’m feeling it for you, really. We’ve had about $3000 in plumbing repairs, another $700 on heating repairs (Fifty one degrees isn’t so bad outside, but when it’s fifty one in the house…) and a new laundry pair for some ungodly sum. Otto loves it because the washer has a glass top, which he watches like television. We like it somewhat less, considerably less than our credit card bills.

I feel you as well. The amount we paid for our new washer and dryer was more than my first car.

We’ve definitely had our share. They all stem from an addition the previous owners put on. I don’t know who they hired but the builders should be shot…

Maybe, like with ours, much was done on their own.

Judging from the leaks, you may be right.

It’s not great but better than work previous owner did here. Namely enclosing what was probably meant to remain open air. Now there’s an extra room but it floods when it rains heavily or from a certain direction. Good luck.
