Upstairs Bathroom Redux Pt.1

I began the demolition of the upstairs bathroom today. Several weeks ago we experienced a flood precipitated by the toilet overflowing, not once, but twice within minutes. When the overflow condition occurred, the water supply continued to pump water to the toilet, also creating a waterfall directly below in the downstairs bathroom.

Needless to say, the sub-floor and floor in the upstairs bathroom was ruined. Since the shower and tub were due for replacement, I decided to redo the entire bathroom - tub, floor, and toilet, plus tile work on the floor and walls.

Here are a few before shots and I plan to take some during and after shots as well*.

Tub is out - Tearing out the subfloor

I have to admit that this type project is not among my favorites. I’m not fond of plumbing work.

  1. There’s nothing wrong with those pictures. That’s pretty much what a bathroom demolition looks like.

    I don’t like plumbing work, either.

  2. “Can we fix it? YES WE CAN!!!”

    You’re pretty much Bob the Builder, without a theme song. Maybe you should get a theme song.

    Love you. Mean it.
