This bathroom is so small you would probably hit your chin on the sink if you tried to use the toilet. And helllooooo! Grossest floor ever and do you see the amount of caulk holding that sink up?!
See that floor? Yep, rotten. The whole wall is because that window they put in cost about $38 and it leaks like a sieve. The door is so swollen it takes major muscles to open and closing it is near impossible.
Gross.
Grosser.
Leaky window due to shoddy repair work on a gutter outside that was pulling the siding OFF the house and just letting rain pour right on in around the window.
Is that floor bowed? Why yes, yes it is! More water damage from a cheap window fix.
Enough caulk for you?
Now, these are just a few things, I know. But, there was enough damage here and there throughout the house on the walls, the plumbing needs to be completely re-done, and we have some major electrical updates. Plus we're redesigning the floor plan to change it from a double to a single, which requires moving some rooms around and knocking walls out. If we needed to gut 80% anyways, we figured we might as well just do the job all the way and start over doing everything correctly so that we're not messing around with patch up jobs later. We also didn't want to get almost done with an area of the house and discover some major problem, only to have to create another giant mess we weren't expecting. Might as well just start from the beginning and discover any issues that might exist, and deal with them immediately. That's our philosophy anyways. Hopefully it pays off.
