Repairs were started but balloon was popped

The handigal and her helper a young man in training, he's been with her for two months, came yesterday morning to begin working on the bathroom and doorway and ran into problems with both. They weren't able to get the water valve inside the house turned off all the way in order to remove the toilet and she didn't realize the walls are plaster, which I knew but didn't realize it would change things. She cut a small hole in the bottom of the wall and it has what looks like nails but might be a mesh to hold the plaster on. She could have kept working but he, the young man, wasn't able to do his portion of the job yesterday so we decided they'd return at the end of the month instead. Otherwise I'd be paying both of them for one job and he wouldn't be working the whole time. A plumber will return to replace either just the valve or the area around it too after the city comes to turn the water off. She also thought maybe some other pipes needed to be replaced as they look too be leaking but my brother, an electrician, didn't think the rest of the pipes were a problem. We thought I should check out what that might cost as we didn't want the basement flooding from an oversight. She thought the pipes were galvanized but my brother believes then too be cooler which have been painted. ~~~~~ Today I need to go pay a bill in person, drop off something we got that was ordered incorrectly and then head to my Dr to get some dry skin checked out. But I basically have the morning off other than that to hang here and get caught up maybe.
