Oh dear what can the matter be?

 Remember this? Remember how impressed you were when you saw that we had taken the wet bar out, patched the hole, had it textured and then primed and painted? We were pretty pleased with ourselves too. And then

 This happened. We were downstairs brushing the teeth of the offspring when I heard B say, "I'm worried about that wall." I asked why and he told me to come look. When I first looked there was a lot more water. Seeing the water oozing from the wall did not feel our hearts with warm fuzzie's that's for certain. B sent a text the P who had helped us before asking if he knew any good plumbers. Oozing walls felt above our pay grade so we were going to call someone to come look at it. P said he could come look. We felt bad because it wasn't our intent to have him come look at it when we asked if he knew a good plumber. We just knew that he grew up here so he might know what plumbers are good and what ones to steer clear of.

P came over but because he doesn't have x-ray vision, he had to cut into the wall. Yes the brand new wall that had been done for less than a week. 

After getting back into the wall, they found that the black pipe was leaking. At first they thought that the water was coming up from the ground and that would have been terrible. We would have had to call someone to break up the cement to find the leak. It was all sounding like it was going to cost us our first born and then Heaven smiled on us and these smarty pants fellas discovered that it was the black pipe that was the culprit. The glue that has been used to glue the pipe together had come lost it's stickiness. We, and when I say we I mean P. He showed up the next day with the supplies in hand. Anyway, we had to cut the pipe in two, take out the non sticky part, put in a new piece of pipe and then connect it to the old pipe using pieces of rubber and screwing them in place. 

 Then there was a lot of measuring,

Cutting

Drilling

and mudding to fix the wall, again.

Not too shabby for a first timer. We still need to texture, prime and paint and then hopefully we're done cutting into the wall for a little while. Although B has come up with a great plan to add a projector that will shine onto this wall. I don't know what's involved in hanging a projector but I wouldn't be surprised if it includes cutting into this wall. I'd be even less shocked if they told us the best place to cut into the wall would be right in this here corner.Maybe we should hold off on painting until we know for sure!
