Disaster Master

Less than two months before Baby Davey is due to make his big entrance into the world, there’s a disaster in the Lawley household (Baldock Branch).
It seems our house, (The Little Crooked House), as well as having odd shaped doors, bowed door frames, rattley windows, and various other quirks, also has a leaking toilet. The first Ross and I knew about it was couple of days ago when, whilst sitting down to eat lunch, I was dripped on! Upon further investigation, we could see the ceiling was in fact dripping and that the walls were sodden and the wallpaper about to fall off. We couldn’t find the source of the leak ourselves, but thanks to an emergency plumber and a call out fee, it was found to be the water inlet pipe that goes into the toilet cistern. So this was swiftly fixed, but we now have to wait to see if the insurance will cover repairing the damage to the front room. We haven’t managed to work out if the bathroom floor is damaged yet, due to the stuck down vinyl floor tiles and ceramic wall tiles.
Hopefully we’ll be able to get a swift resolution of this, but in the meantime, we have a lovely damp smell in the front room.
Peeling Wallpaper…nice!
