Rotting floor & Hayride Update
Oct. 4th, 2005 08:35 pmSo, finally, after fearing for a while that the floor would collapse in the downstairs bathroom... the maintenance people came in, ripped out the floor down to the original mill planks, and then put in a new floor. Unfortunately they didn't rip out the whole floor, as that would require them to remove the bathtub and sink... They just replaced that which surrounds the toilet and that without anything else on top of it. They didn't check the wall behind the toilet either... because it has mold growing on it (which I've been battling with clorox) and it seems obvious that there is some water damage back there. GAH! I've got some pictures as well, but don't know if I'll post them. When they'd ripped up the floor (after removing the toilet temporarily) there was that soaked downed wood smell that you get when you walk through a recently rained on forest... think of those logs on the side of the trail that are in various stages of rotting away, that was what my floor smelled like.
So, only have five seats left on the Halloween Hayride (October 29th) if anyone in the CT/new england area wants in, let me know. There is also a tentative plan (for those who haven't gotten enough by then) to go on the Trail of Terror. Which, I've finally remembered was where we went after the Hayride that first year. This is the super scary gore fest type of thing, put on by firefighters and police officers every year as a fund raiser for various charities, this year is for the Red Cross. The first trip had me all Halloween ecstatic, very cool... The second had me seeing shit out of the corner of my eye on the drive home. We had stopped at a McDonald's on the way home (only thing we could find open) and every time someone would drive by to the drive in I thought I saw evil clowns and whatnot in the cars. Heh.
