    I was supposed replace the toilet last Friday but after I had it removed, we decided to quickly paint the bathroom while the wall wasn’t obstructed. As I’m taping off the baseboard, my fingers are grazing the drywall to smooth out the tape and they go right through… Complete mush. Rotted wood behind it. Yay! I was finally able to get a plumber out yesterday to fix the problem pipe. Drywall is completely cut away. Fan is airing it out so I can cut new wood tomorrow and get it all patched up. At this pace, I’ll finally have the toilet replaced by Wednesday.
