The week of the “Ewws, Yucks, and Aahs!”

I’m calling this the week of “The Ewwwwws, The Yucks, and the Aahs!

 

Why you might ask?

 

Well, the answer is simple.

 

My house had a lot of Ewwwwws, a whole lot of Yucks and I hope it is now finally starting to have some Aahs.  The Aahs are not completely finished yet.  I still have some things to tweak.  But, for the most part, I smile everytime I walk into one of the rooms we have updated.  : )

 

Our first “Ewwww!” is brought to you today, courtesy of our Master Bath Shower.

I have to be honest.  At this angle, it doesn’t look that bad.  However, after trying to rip up the carpet in our Master Bedroom so that we could lay new flooring, we stumbled upon a nasty surprise.  The shower had a crack in the floor and had been leaking into the bedroom on the other side of the wall.

Here is another Ewww.  The corner where it was seeping into our bedroom.  I thought that lovely mildewy substance on the bottom of the baseboard was simply something the previous homeowner had spilt once upon a time and didn’t clean up.  It wasn’t until I rubbed my finger over it, that I realized I was VERY WRONG!

 

This is another angle of the same corner.  (Another Ewwww!)

 

Now for the YUCKS!  This is the wall on the bathroom side where it was seeping into the Master on the other side.

 

More YUCK!  and YES!  That is mold.  : (

Straight on YUCKY view of the shower.

 

But WAIT!  There’s more.  Why not take a closer look?

 

Still not satisfied?  You want me to go even closer?

Imagine my HORROR when I found out that the dark black stuff in the middle was actually H2O!

I promise this is all the pics of the Ewws/Yucks bathroom pics I am posting.

But!

Because I know you just had your breakfast,

I would like to post yet another picture.  Maybe you think it’s an “Ewww”.  Maybe you think it’s a “Yuck”.

I personally think it’s an “AAH!” 

 

Meet my Halloween alter ego, “Earl”.  The roughest, toughest, toothless, hairiest, deer shootin, beer drinkin Redneck out there!

Please don’t be mad because I’m prettier than you.

Jealousy can be an ugly thing!

 

 

Love,

 

Esther
