This was my fitbit at 7pm last night. It was errand day, and not by choice. I had to go to the "big city" for an estimate on the truck. We may be getting a second estimate, because the first will not fix paint chips on the hood from the deer encounter.
Anyway, I took all my lists with me and landed at 5 stores! I loaded online digital coupons before leaving the house. Meijer had 20% off all ball canning supplies (you can check, but not sure how many days it's good for). I picked up more canning lids for a great price, as things are not going well in this country, and wanted to be prepared. Also, our Wal-mart had higher prices on canning lids than Meijer. The 20% off was a great deal considering the times we are dealing with.
At Home Depot (my last stop), I had to wait forever at the paint counter due to lack of employees. It was a very long day.
Meanwhile, our handy-man was gutting the entire smaller bathroom. We ran into many unhappy surprises. First, after the shower was removed on the other side in this photo, we discovered there was a leak in the back of the shower that disintegrated about 2 feet of drywall. AND! They did not use the proper drywall for behind a shower.
The toilet was removed, only to discover that the metal fixture under the seal had completely rotted, and the flooring around the toilet was rotted. So.....half the floor was removed, only to discover we'll need to replace the entire bathroom floor. Oh joy for us.
However, while the floor is out, we are having our handy-man (adding more costly dollars, but worth it), add heat tape to all the pipes under there.

It's always something when you own your home, isn't it? We've never had a "little" project that didn't turn into a big one! I hope you don't have any more surprises!
Thanks Debi, bathroom repairs are underway, and hopefully a new floor in soon.
