I hope you enjoyed SUPPER Jay.

This is one of those project "why the he_l did I even start?" I've now got two complete rows of tile on the front torn off and one complete row down the side wall torn out as well as another 1/2 a row. This doesn't even begin to address the rot in the subfloor that should be taken care of. I'm really tempted to tear the whole tub out and put a fiberglass insert in. It might actually be easier than this.

 

There is only one way to handle a leaking bathroom Michael. Start over...

 

Good evening MN. Just got back from a friends site. Moon looks good tonight

 

We just might do that. This is one of those projects that could easily mushroom into an entire remodel.

 

Here's some photos of the demo so far. Tomorrow will determine what we do from here.

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

I am looking on my phone but I can't see your picture Michael. Good luck with the project.

Hope you can rest today Jay now that the kitchen is painted!

 

Michael, Dave is right on this one. Remove and start over. Hopefully the landlord is paying for it...

 

Happy Monday all!

 

Good morning fellas.

It is Labor day today and I have a bunch of work to do.....WTF! Oh well.....I need to do it now so I can relax on the up coming weekends. This time of year the weather is B-E-A-UTIFUL! Enjoy you Holiday everyone!

 

Have a great labor day MN.

Still at the campground but leaving soon. I have a lot do at home also. Good luck with the bathroom Michael

 

Haha... you're funny. This is what we get for cheap rent.

 

I don't know why people tile right over drywall in wet conditions. See the name "dry" wall...

For mold sake alone you should remove it all, get rid of the rot and then durrock or tile board it for tiling it, or do a formed surround. Not sure what the long term plans are for you with the house though...

 

I got all the rot out. I got to the point where the drwall was still dry and tiles were not easily coming off. Fortunately there is a full case of tile in the garage that matches. The plan is to do the durock then retile and see how it goes.

 

That's good at least. Should help to have the lower part waterproof.

 

Hello everybody.
