There was a big puddle of water on the bathroom floor after showers, so we assumed pipes. Turned out (after said hole revealed *nothing*) the problem was a cracked & crappy tub/shower liner. Duct tape (temporarily) fixed it, but I have spent every day since then saying to myself "there's *probably* not mould behind there".<br /><br />I will look on the bright side and sit here being envious of your new bathroom :-)harmziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718439326736163120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554671041186726858.post-60561209912060378442009-11-26T13:26:34.606-06:002009-11-26T13:26:34.606-06:00Good lord - I think *I* need a coffee after readin...Good lord - I think *I* need a coffee after reading that.

Your highly educated cerebral college-prof husband had a problem with leaking pipes behind a wall and the best tool he could think of for the job was... a hammer?<br /><br />I guess it could have been worse. I have an old file of quotes from the electrical engineering department, and this one is attributed to your husband:<br /><br /><i>Whatever is not nailed down is mine. What I can pry loose is not nailed down. </i><br /><br />I know it doesn't matter too much that he used a hammer, the appropriate tool can be used to cut out pieces that can be replaced, but still... a hammer? He didn't have the meat tenderizer or the blow torch handy? :-)<br /><br />So what was the cause of the leak?<br />In my experience, drains don't break down as much as the supply pipes do --- had it been weakened by too much corrosive gunk? Or had some soldering actually come undone?<br /><br />Good luck with the redoing of the bathroom and the bathroom ceiling. Now's your opportunity to install those fixtures you always wanted!<br /><br />P.S. you made me laugh so hard my cola spurted out my eyes with your "tasty Filipino food" comment. As you well know, I've been asking people for tasty Filipino recipes for years with no luck. Either they don't exist or they are to be kept secret from the white guys. Which would also explain why there are Chinese restaurants, Thai restaurants, Indonesian restaurants, Malaysian restaurants, I've even eaten at a Tibetan restaurant, but <b>no Filipino restaurants</b>. Here's what google returns for "Filipino restaurant winnipeg": <i><br />Your search for a restaurant serving Filipino cuisine yielded no results.
