Hello PPP! I’ve been away the past five days doing some home renovations. We bought a 100 year old house eight years ago and have been slowly redoing each room, and our final challenge is the bathroom. It’s teensy tiny (4’ x 8’) and has been a challenge.
It’s a lot like rebuilding a 100 year old hockey team. You first look at what you’ve inherited. Some okay parts you can salvage but the lot has just got to go.
You demo the shit out of it, tearing down walls that are moldy, ripping up layer, after, layer, after layer of flooring - almost like the previous owners never wanted to do a true tear down / rebuild.
