We have owned our home for almost six years. We have completely gutted, remodeled, redone, repainted, refloored, resurfaced, (any "re" word you can think of, we've probably done!) the entire house. There isn't any room in our house that hasn't been touched. AND..much of the stuff in our house wasn't done correctly or was done in such a cheap way to make it look done that it takes us twice as long to fix it the right way. Add to that the fact that the house is over 100 years old and ...well there you have it.
We were getting ready to take up the linoleum in the laundry/back bathroom and tile the floor. After we bought our house, we noticed that the shower was leaking. Chad fixed it however what we didn't know was that it had been leaking for quite a while before that. Chad pulls up the linoleum to see that the sub floor is rotted under the toilet and the shower. SO...Chad rips that up and immediately sees that part of the support under the shower and the toilet has also rotted. ON TOP OF THAT...the support beam under the shower, the toilet, AND the washer and dryer had been cut and not re-attached. Basically you push on it with your hand and it would sway. Nice!
SO..since we had all that to do, we decided to remodel our bathroom. It is becomming a much bigger job than we had hoped (moving drains, electrical, drywalling, tiling, installing new shower and sink) but once it's done it will be marvelous! I'm very excited.
However, I probably won't have a washer or dryer available for at least another week so tomorrow we are heading over to mom's house to do a few loads of laundry. *sigh* I will be glad when this project is finished!
Here are some before shots:
