You are so sweet Charisse! And your own “house problem” was so much worse than mine. I think that situation might have broke my spirit. I’m so glad that was a while ago and you’re able to share the happy ending to that story. How you kept working toward the goal. Got pushed back to your starting point–twice! But kept going. Cried, felt discouraged…and then had some wonderful times. Sometimes when you’re in that “pit of despair” part of your own story, you think you’ll never get out. Thanks for the encouragement!
p.s. I LOVE gooey desserts!

Dorothy you’ve had four sink holes under your house!?! That’s like a worst nightmare situation! I frequently nightmare about falling into a black hole… I’m so sorry! One day at a time. I can do that. Let’s do that!

Oh my! A whole extra septic tank? That is empty? It sounds like your main floor plumbing line is completely backed up — like mine was. That’s what was happening here. Running the sink would make the toilet gurgle… OhMaGah I hope you get it figured out and fixed with as little demo and expense possible. Very sincere, heart felt — good luck!

I’ve learned there’s no answer that is the right answer for everyone. The good thing about your tile situation is that no matter how you choose to fix it, it’s not going to cause more problems in other areas down the road. Unless the tiles falling off is an indication of a bigger problem behind the tile or under the tub? Good luck Susan! I hope you get it figured out.

Ok not LONG gone — but they are gone.
