OH POO!

The bathroom remodel is almost done, not our bathroom someone Else's. How do people live like this? The toilet had been leaking for quite some time and the stick on tiles were falling apart. The sub floor was the consistency of corn meal mush and came up rather easily with a 4" putty knife. When I pulled the toilet out the lady of the house asked me "How did all that mud get under the toilet?" my response was "That's not MUD". After a few seconds of bewilderment she said "Oh? poo!", "right" I said and went about cleaning it up.

Well 3 weeks later the finished product is amazing, new vanity and sink, toilet, and tub with surround. Totally rebuilt floor with new vinyl and base molding.

2 things that I learned from this job are 1. If you think you are cross threading a bolt or pipe you probably are, don't force it, and 2. flush the waterlines before you connect the faucets. Large tap and die sets are expensive and faucets clog easy.




This was a good practice job for me so now it is time to do my own bathroom, we really need a new tub. Aarin wants to do a tile surround, so that ought to be a new challenge, by new challenge I mean fun.
