Out of Commission

We had to re-open the outhouse.  I did some big cleaning at the end of last week and cleaned ceiling fans, etc.  I had Mike hanging a cover on the kitchen fan on Sat.  He "gently" touched the ceiling next to it and his hand went thru.  So we have a hole in our kitchen ceiling.  We thought all was well, just needed a little patchwork but when I came back down after Peter's bath that night, there was a puddle on the floor... :) nice!  So I called Mike in and promptly did a happy dance at the possibility of a bathroom renovation!  He wasn't a big fan of that, not sure why.  He did a little investigating and thankfully, its just the tub (we think) so we can still use the sink and potty.  I am sad because the upstairs bath is our winter bath since our downstairs one is freezing in the winter with 3 exterior walls and no heat (whoever thought that was a good addition).  But I have to admit (to the blog, not to Mike) that I am slightly excited to see what he comes up with (the hard part will be the wait when his schedule isn't my schedule).  He has impressed me in the past with his fix it, repair, problem solving abilities.  He's fixed our dryer for $30 when we thought we may need a new one, replaced our hot water heater (maybe $200? can't remember), fixed an oil leak on our car for <$100 when it would have cost $1,000+.  I'm sure there are more!  I did insist that he hire someone to replace a pipe that drained the upstairs toilet.  I feel like this plumbing problem could be within the DIY boundary since its "above" the toilet pipe.  We'll see what he decides (hopefully sooner rather than later)...  ;)!  Maybe I should go clean the outhouse in the meantime.
