And now we start three weeks worth of my house being torn apart.

Mojo/congrats on the remodel. I am currently in a remodel mode. I just had the 2 bedrooms repainted, new furniture arriving on Thurs, and window treatments ordered. Then comes the 2 bathrooms. thwap0
 
We took a trip to home depot for fixtures and lights for the bathroom. still need to buy a vanity, toilet and mirror to replace the medicine chest but that can wait a few days.
 
Bonus. Apparently something is leaking in the kitchen and seeping under the wall:

We might be out of luck with the insurance company. Apparently our leak won't be "fast" enough to be covered.
 
Man, you are scaring the crap out of me! We want to replace the floors and shower in our bathroom and the floor, toilet and vanity in the other bathroom, and God knows what we will find (the prior owner of our unit fancied himself a handyman, and seemed to specialize in CHEEP!)

Well, I actually expected worse when they opened the floor in the bathroom. Our house is 61 years old but it was built pretty well. We are suffering from some short sighted and cheap repairs done by prior owners. We're not made of money but if we own it and have to live here the work is going to be done correctly.

HOLY SHIT!

I take it you don't have a basement, because you'd have noticed that!

Correct. Very few houses here in CA have basements due to earthquake concerns. We have a raised wood foundation so this was less noticeable than if we had have had a concrete slab.
