Birthdays and More Demolition

   We celebrated Blair's birthday with a great cheese cake.  Cheese cake is one of Blair's favorite desserts.  All enjoyed the dessert and party.  Here are some pictures of the finished bathroom.

Shortly after we finished the inside of the bathroom.  We noticed that the baseboard on the family room side of the wall was bowing at the bottom and appeared wet.  This seemed strange because we had torn the bathroom side of the wall apart to check for leaks and found none.  Well, we discovered that the cabinet above the toilet had been screwed to the wall by the previous home owner and they missed the stud and drilled into the water drain instead.  When the cabinet and screws were removed to paint, the leak reappeared.   Here are the pics of the other side of the wall.

On the back side of the pipe to the right was were the hole was.  We called a plumber and he cut out and repaired the pipe.  Blair then proceeded to sheet rock, tape, mud, sand, prime, paint, and apply the new base board.

Finished product...finally!
