Tried to install new bathroom tile Saturday and somehow managed to flood my downstairs. The water damage is insane and my wife won't even look at me. Pretty sure I'm sleeping on the couch for a week. Anyone got experience dealing with contractors? How much should this cost me in repairs?
Dude, I flooded my kitchen trying to fix a leaky sink once. Pro tip: get a professional in there ASAP to minimize damage, then make it right with your wife however you need to. We've all been there.
Yikes, bathroom tile is no joke. The good news is your wife will forgive you eventually, but maybe hire a professional next time? I've learned the hard way that some projects aren't worth the marital bliss tax.
Oh man, that's rough. At least you tried to make the place better, right? My advice: don't attempt any more DIY until you've watched like five YouTube videos and slept more than two hours. Trust me, exhaustion and power tools don't mix.
Oh man, bathroom tile is no joke. I flooded my kitchen last year trying to install a new faucet - turns out I didn't turn the water off all the way. What's the damage looking like? Are we talking just drywall or did it get into the studs?
This is exactly why I stick to projects I can't accidentally flood. Built my kids an amazing pillow fort last month - zero water damage risk. Maybe tile installation isn't in your future, my friend.

Been there. Except mine was the upstairs guest bathroom and it soaked through to the living room ceiling. Had to call a professional to dry everything out. It's expensive but worth it to avoid mold. Don't try to save money on the water damage remediation part.
