my parents are finishing the basement for us to live in while Rob goes to school... this is what we have run into in the past couple of weeks.
first we had to get this whole area cleaned out because we had junk stored in there which wasnt too bad, but then the heating and plumbing guys came and now we are in a state of chaos...

(below) this is all of the insulation they tore out because they found out my parents bathroom above was leaking...

which led to this
(below) the shower pan was leaking and rotted the floor.




after tearing out the tile in the whole bathroom to replace the sub floor and tile we discovered the toilet area had mold too...

which means my poor mom has to continue to leave the toilet and bathtub on the FRONT porch for all of our neigbors to see until the guy comes to kill all the mold.

because of all of this the basement has sort of been on hold but we plan to push on and just fix both the bathroom and the basement at the same time.

meanwhile the city pulled out 25 of my parents trees due to the powerlines above, and they have been trying to redo their yard with starter trees and plants.
the truck we used to get dirt got stuck between two rocks and we had to call a tow truck to pull it out...



long story short... the tow truck couldnt even get the truck out so we ended up hooking onto the rocks and pulling them out. once again my poor mom


I hope this post isnt too depressing but I just had to document the chaos.
