The Demo Continues

So...you thought we were making progress? Well, we are! During our initial demo this past weekend, we found wet subfloor in the closet. Turns out there was no leak from the adjacent tub in the guest bathroom, nor was there a leak from the roof. The wet subfloor was due to...pet stains...trapped for almost 20 years. Yeah, um...you can only imagine how THAT smelled. So, in order to get rid of the smell, we had to get rid of all the subfloor in the closet. We're also removing some subfloor that was under the vanity. Fortunately, we are not tackling this project alone. We have reinforcements. One of my wonderful co-workers offered up her wonderful husband to help us out. He has years of experience doing this kind of work, so we know we are in great hands. Check out our continued demo:


Stack 'o drywall and subfloor


Our closet wall that we had to tear out to get to rotten subfloor below.


The corner of our closet.


The exposed side of our tub in the guest bathroom.


Stack 'o tools.


The fun continues...

And no, that's not water damage you see in the dark areas of the joists, studs and the other side of our first floor ceiling. It's a fresh spray of a product aptly named, "Urine Off" which will hopefully destroy any 20 year-old pet by-products that we missed.

UCK!

Seriously. said...

Love the last picture. I never dreamed that you would be gutting a bathroom one day. You two are very skilled and I am very impressed! Is the product "Urine Off" something like "No Stay" ?
