We were in the middle of two DIY gut jobs – two bathrooms that shared a wall. We were 99% done with the one bathroom, and just began the second. We were working on the plumbing in the second bathroom and a teeny leak (over the course of a week) soaked all the subflooring in BOTH bathrooms… Which meant all the tile in the almost-done bathroom started weeping water through the grout lines. OMG, it was awful! The part I never came clean about? The leak was our fault. Major facepalm.

But the best part is that we learned many valuable lessons (the hard way); we were supposed to lay concrete board under the floor tile, too – so by the time the bathrooms were done, both were done right – and we now do all our plumbing with PEX and monitor the crap out of it before we call it good. And never use white grout on a bathroom floor. No matter how great it looks. 🙂 Here’s the bathroom when it was finally done!! https://anotherbigbite.com/2012/10/17/lord-of-the-shower-curtain-rings/ (Forgive the pics; I had no idea what I was doing in the early days of blogging!)

If it were possible to “like” comments, this would be the one. 🙂
