Okay from here on out, the crazy pyscho witch lady that we bought this house from will simply be known as CPWL. (It was the home purchase from hades)
Anyway about two months ago I noticed that the bolts bolting the toilet to the floor were kinda looking rusted in the master bathroom. DH didn't think anything of it, just brushed me off. (Surely I don't know anything about construction, and can't see rusty bolts...
)
Anyway last week I was cleaning the toilet (happy happy joy joy... NOT) and I noticed the floor around the toilet felt kinda "soft". Now I KNOW that it's NOT supposed to be like that. DH checks it out. "Yeah it's not supposed to be like that"
We stop using the toilet, and today he finally gets to checking it out. He removes the toilet... The CPWL installed the freaking toilet WRONG. The inner seal wasn't the correct one and it was in the wrong place... For who knows how long there's been a seeping leak around the toilet.
DH had to tear out ALL the wainscotting, all the trim, pull out the vanity, and now we have to replace the entire subfloor and the vinyl. Luckily dh has been in construction his entire life, so we don't have to PAY anyone to do this, and it's just the cost of materials, but dang it I'm ticked.
This is just the last of many things we've noticed that CPWL half a$$ed and we have to fix.
Don't get me wrong I love love love my house. But it's frusterating. Sometimes I hate being a homeowner.
