I was in the shower with the 5 year old yesterday. I needed to shave and he was dirty so we joined forces. At the end of it we were standing in ankle deep water from Bang having put the plug in the drain. I started stomping and splashing. He laughed and splashed with me. The curtain was closed so I thought it was safe. But then DW comes busting through the door like she was a one woman SWAT team. Then I heard the smoke detectors blaring. I thought for sure I was going to have to flee a burning house wrapped in a towel. Turns out the bathroom floor somehow got flooded and water was pouring from the smoke detector on the ceiling directly below the new pool room formerly known as the bathroom. The water shorted the detector and set it off. Since all three detectors are wired together they were all blaring. Because they were blaring, the bird was squawking. DW’s blood pressure soared. We have a guy coming to find out why our pool bathroom decided to empty into the floor below.
For now… happy reading!

You’re welcome. I love how you related your own teen years to what your kids are going through. That point of view certainly helps remembering when it comes to helping them.

If only they would accept that perspective of having been through it! But what teen thinks their parents know anything?

Parents just don’t understand. First it was our parents, now it’s us!

I guess that could be a plug for living in a single-story house??

Yep. One story houses have their advantages. This being one them. While the splashing was fun, the after effects, not so much.

We live in a one story house too. Two bedrooms, and one bathroom, and 3 people and when we all have to pee theirs a problem, well there’s boys they can pee outside,lol.

You’re welcome. I hope it’s easy, too. I’m thinking it should just be a matter of sealing around the base of the tub and floor. Fingers crossed!

So far the fix is free. Just had to caulk around the base of the tub. Hopefully the caulking works.
