Memo to those who remodeled our house

§ April 29th, 2009 § Filed under whine § 2 Comments

“All-purpose caulk” is not really “all-purpose.” Specifically, it is not for the purpose of caulking tubs and showers because it doesn’t prevent mold and mildew. How do I know this? Because I just spent the better part of two days stripping old (and poorly done), moldy sealant from our bathtub and recaulking it.

Oh, and also? The reason for caulk is to fill in gaps to keep water out. In addition to the edges of the tub, this includes gaps around the faucet so that water doesn’t get into the space between the shower and the wall. You morons.

Tomorrow we can recommence showering.

This is after; “before” is in the trash.
