Weekend excitement
Aug. 31st, 2008 20:43The seal around the base of the back bathroom toilet finally - and noticeably - kablooeyed on us this afternoon. What started as a relatively relaxing day has ended up with removing the toilet, vanity, linoleum, a portion of the luann underlayment, a portion of the second subfloor, and a small portion of the first subfloor*, just to get rid of everything that was soaked or moldy.
Left to do is clean up the interim mess and spritz the floorboards with bleach to kill the mold. Tomorrow: new sub-flooring, underlayment, linoleum, vanity, faucet, and replace the toilet with new seals.
And as I stand in the bathroom door, looking at the amount of work needed to return the room to habitable status - knowing that I really only have one day to get this done - I think to myself, it could be worse...
...I could be getting ready for day 3 of KCRF opening weekend.
* giving us a nice view into the garage below, and a convenient place to sweep the sawdust.
