Stupid Plumbing

Something happened to our plumbing that is probably going to require a professional to fix. When you take a shower or bath in any bathroom in the house the toilet in the downstairs bathroom leaks and water bubbles up into the tub in that same bathroom. The water doesn’t come out of the toilet bowl, it comes out underneath the toilet. And I know it’s the water draining from the showers because it’s sometimes a little soapy, it’s warm and it’s clear (I dyed the toilet water blue to make sure it wasn’t leaking from the bowl). We think the wax seal under the toilet is cracked and that there is a possible clog somewhere forcing the water to re-route to under the toilet. Whatever it is, until it’s fixed we have to mop up the bathroom every time we take a shower.

Normally stuff like house repairs don’t frustrate me but they always seem to happen around the same time as other major expenses. We were hoping to put in a fence this month but I guess that will have to wait. And we have to pay for the pre-adoption class and home study (which is not cheap) so paying for a plumber is the last thing on my list of fun things to do.
