Bath
Thursday, 31 March, 2005
Here is an example of the absurd (or perhaps very typical amongst the population) way I think:
- I would like to have a bath.
- If I have a bath, then I can use that bubble bath that has been sitting our bathroom pretty much since the beginning our marriage which we have only ever used a couple of times.
- I could also use those nice bath salts that Christine gave me (that are supposed to be very soothing and relaxing).
- Taking a bath is a good thing to do if you're having trouble getting to sleep (or so the experts say).
- If I take a bath, it will force me to clean the bath (currently in a disreputable state—all covered in dust and lint).
- But there's a little slab of enamel missing from the floor of the bath. Right in the middle of it.
- If I have a bath, will the water then seep through the hole, under the bath and then into the floor?
- If the water keeps on doing this, will rot away at the floorboards?
- What if the state of the bathroom gets so bad that the bath goes through the floor and into the foundations?
- What would I tell my aunt?!
- But maybe that won't happen. Someone ought to know.Who can I ask about baths and enamel?
- What if nobody knows? Then I'll never ever have a bath!!!

This is a very funny post, in spite of itself.

The tree will fall in the forest.
Are you after serious answers? If so, just go and buy a tube of sealant goo from the hardware store (on the pack it will tell you if it is waterproof etc).
Dont worry about the tile, just seal up the hole with goo for a quick fix.
Even if the water leaks into the floor boards it would take ages (years) for them to rot away. As for foundations, dont worry. Trust me, I’m an engineer!
