Feel like venting about life and I like you folks.
Toilet leaked in our upstairs and flooded our bathroom leaking into our kitchen. Have water remediation drying it out but basically will need new flooring on both levels and paint and potentially the entire main bathroom re done due to trapped water. Gonna be a mess for a bit but thankfully we have decent insurance and a good contractor.
In an attempt to make lemonade out of the situation Iām thinking Iāll rough in a fan while the ceiling is open.
That totally sucks dudeā¦ Hopefully the disruption doesnāt last too long.
Dang, thatās awful. I know how that goes.
Dude, I dealt with this exact situation almost 2 years ago now. A small toilet leak that we couldnāt see built up and burst through our kitchen. Unfortunately, we DIDNāT have a good contractor, and were a little over a year without a kitchen.
Thankfully itās behind us, and we came out slightly ahead because I got the microwave fan vented outside during repairs.
Sadly we had our kitchen messed up about two years ago due to our dishwasher pump failing so we found the good contractor in the process of taking 8 months to get through that ordealā¦
Ahh, home ownershipā¦
Best of luck through the repairs my man
Dang, this stinks. (I also thought this was the trick thread that we make clickbait titles for, and Iām bummed that youāre dealing with this.)
Oh no! Good luck with your repairsā¦
Good grief Charlie Brown. You know I dealt with similar issues. Itās no fun. I truly feel for you brother. This plus my prior experiences have me thinking about drain pans under everything. 
I have such a desire to install drains everywhere but thatās allot.
Rarely am I proud of my unfinished basement, but the one time we ran into toilet leaks, we knew right away and nothing got messed up.
Sorry to hear about this for you brother. Rarely does renting sound good, but every once in a while a repair will come up that makes me wanna sell and rent for life lol.
