Sadly, there is a leak. There is a leak from the third floor bathroom to the ceiling of the second floor. I had been showering on the first floor. Then the water returned to the third floor and I decided - I have such a nice little claw foot tub up there - why can't I take a bath up there? I'm reading those blasted Vampire books and I really needed a good soaking to get back into the series. I could hear something dripping, but the floor wasn't wet. I figured it was dripping in the pipe. Nope. Jeff even has the ceiling up and had started plastering/spackling. Now he's got to take the ceiling back down and the plumbers have to come back to get that leak taken care of. It's a good thing he discovered it before he was all done. But argh - such a pain in the neck.
I still have not finished the darn doorway down stairs. I must do that this weekend, I must resolve. . . .
But I am stripping my brains out on the stairs.

And the tiles… I called my Uncle Ralph whose son Gino is in the tile and flooring world. I told him I wanted chartreuse tiles. Gino apparently said, "Why would you want chartreuse tiles?" I say, "Why not?" Maybe Gino can work miracles. I'm not having any luck.

I definitely do not have the patience for those spindles. I would have to throw a spindle stripping party or something. I could not do it on my own. They are going to be worth all the work in the end though. I am so excited to see it done.
That is so sad about the leak. I am curious where you are in that book series.
