Well. How do ya do. Leak two and a half found. I swear, #flipperssuck or wait, maybe not fair, #cheapflipperssuck wow. How many things are wrong here?! #imdying Bad grouting. Bad sealing. Drywall instead of cement board. Rubber liner under who knows what for a #shower base. Iiiiii mean....but where’s the original leak that started this #escapade in wall destruction?? #newshower #unintendedproject #ugh #thissucks #diywoes #homeimprovement #nightmares #whydopeoplesuck #dontcheapout #thanksfortheheadache #whatnext #ineedanap #help #atleastitllbeprettywhenitsdone #woeisme #interiors

One #leak found. Are there more? I dunno. What I do know is that #plumbing is best left to #trainedandlicensed actual #plumbers not hacks or people who say they can do plumbing. The damage these idiots can cause is #astronomical. So please, just spring for the cost of a real #plumber and save yourself thousands in damage. Mmk? Mmk. #homeimprovementwoes #notacaseoffakeittilyoumakeit #diywoes #houseflipper #beware #cheapassbastard #thanksalot #showerrenovation #unintendedproject #wellthisisfun #help #sigh
