Water is coming from the tub out into the hallway. I knocked a hole in the wall to see where the water is coming from. Yep, it under the tub. I caulk the tub but not the problem. Now I smell mildew. I have removed the carpet from the small hallway. The water is going under the tile. This house was built in 1967 on a slab like foundation. My parents left it to my kids. They are 24 and 19 and live here too. They said I could live here as long as i want too. I had to borrow money to put a new furnace in. I put a heat pump changed from gas to electric. changed fuse box from edison. The hot water is still gas. I had someone to blow installation into the attic. Put vents in the house. This entire house needs a makeover inside and out. It has alumuim sidings. The roof is about 15 yrs. old and don't look to bad. The gutter, windows, siding or door have never been replaced. Everyone on the block has remodel there home. I was raise here. Our house looks like a sore.I also had to purchase a washer, dryer,refrigerator. I am a single mom making very little money. The city has valued house at $109,000. but you won't get half of that. The sewer isn't the best. I had the city come and check the lines. They check from the street to house. Works fine. I was told by neighbors that the foundation would have to be broken up to get to the lines in the house. Wheww what does a mother do? I am happy that we do have a roof over our head. I pay the taxes and everything. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I am 54 yrs. old and don't know what to do? What should I do if it was you?
