As in I was covered in it most of the day. My daring need to renvoate my bathroom in one day... didn't even get started. But for good reason.
The point was to install a bath tub. A hot shower helps a sore back, but nothing like soaking in a hot bath.
Anyway, problem is the foundation is concrete and the drain is dead center. So my plan was to build a good and heavy frame and raise the bath tub enough to put a drain in under the tub. But when we got the grille off of the drain in the floor we learned that it is the entry point for access to the drain system. (I know you're thinking "No shit")
But if you have to call roto rooter or something that's where they stick their snake, in the hole. There's a plug you have to remove because the turn for the drain is too sharp for the snake, so pulling that plug gives you a more direct route. Blocking that means we break the building code and that is bad.
So we aborted that mission for now. Also we tested how well the drain system will handle the VALUME of water a draining bath tub would have we found it wouldn't cut it. Too late to call Roto Rooter and no snakes for rent. I needed to stick SOMETHING in the hole... so I got my hose out and jammed it in there. Eventually I found a BIG blockage and broke it with the hose and everything ran nice and free, and we were all happy! Alas a huge mess was made ALL over me and I can't get the stains out and I'm rather sticky and smelly...
But everything is back together again, and the bathroom is cleaner than ever! So I feel pretty good.
