Thars a hole in the bucket dear liza, dear liza, thars a hole in the bucket dear liza a hole....
Well, actually the hole isnt in the bucket...its in the floor...in the bathroom...under the shower. Recently we had been noticing some water on the floor after taking a shower - no big deal right? WRONG. This morning as my husband was in the bathroom brushing his hair, he took one step towards the shower and the ball of his foot sunk in the floor about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. We are quite sure the shower must have leaked enough water over the years (more than the 3 yrs we have owned the house) to weaken and/or rot the support under our bathroom. So it looks like that will be our spring time project. We haven't crawled under the house yet to see the damage so I will know more later on but for the time being thank God we have a 2nd bathroom with another shower to use. I just pray it ends up not being too expensive to repair...does anyone know if insurance covers anything like this??

Oh bummer! I think your homeowners insurance should cover that. It will come down to where the water leak has originated from. It is definetly worth a call to your insurance agent. If you file a claim with your insurance agent they will send an adjustor out to estimate the damage. It won't cost you a thing to have an insurance adjustor come out and survey the damage and the adjustor's report will determine if it is covered or not. I would be suprised if it wasn't covered less your deductible of course. If the damage isn't much more than your deductible it may be worth it, in the long run, to fix it yourself. I guess that depends on your deductible. If the damage and your deductible are fairly close, give me a call and I will explain the reasons why you over the phone.
ah yes, the neverending list of things to repair or upgrade on your home. And just when you think everything is going to be okay for a while, something like this happens. Sometimes living in a hotel sounds pretty darn appealing.
