Monday I get home from working and I head to the bathroom. As I'm sitting there doing my business I hear a rather loud dripping sound coming from the tub. After I finish I start to investigate. Yep, there is dripping behind the freshly tiled wall. Go check under the house...yep a stead stream of water dripping into the crawl space. Great! I have to be at class in 40 min and I don't get out until 10:30pm. Lowes will be closed so I won't be able to start work on fixing it.
Tuesday morning. Get up, let Kara take a shower and then turn off the water. Fortunately there is a closet on the other side of the shower (where the leak is) so I don't have to take down the tile. Bust out the wall and there it is. Just as I guessed. One of the pipe fasteners is not doing what it's supposed to. Run to Lowes get a couple things and it's all fixed in like 40 min. The down side...a lot of stuff got wet. So I have to let it all dry out before I patch the wall in the closet.
At least it wasn't worse. And it could have been much worse.
