Holes in the wall-and I'm happy about it!

                                    

Yes, there are holes in my walls and I am grateful for it!  

The day Scott left to return back to work (and the day I came down with a stomach virus) was the day a pipe broke under the slab of the house. It was a hot water line. At least I could shut off the hot water line and still have running cold water-for which I'm truly grateful!

The options where to a) start jack hammering through the floor or b) re-pipe the whole house through the attic and down through the walls. Option B was much more appealing, a more perminate fix (meaning I don't have to worry about another old pipe failing) and a better cost option.

After a tedious (meaning I won't bore you with the details) search for a reputable plumber we found one, signed the contract and Ta-Da! Hole in the walls! BUT I now have hot water again plus I have better water pressure, it takes less time for the hot water to reach its destination, and I have new fixtures in the showers.

So, yes I have dry wall repairing in my future, (I hope there are some good YouTube videos) but I have hot water once again and THIS makes me smile with gratitude!
