Bathroom: Holes in the Floor

With the tile off the floor, it was clear to us that we'd need to replace the sub floor. There had been water damage in the past and the floor was warped, uneven and had significant holes under the tub and toilet.

Nick determined where he'd need to cut along the interior walls and how to create new supports so that the structural integrity of the room was not compromised. He gave careful consideration to where he planned to route the new plumbing in the basement and where the new sub floor would need to be secured to the beams. And, since we were saving money doing this work ourselves, we decided that Nick should have a new top of the line drill. We actually got a Milwaukee set of two--a big one and a small one with a hammer drill feature. The right tools make a job so much easier! We lament waiting so long to have upgraded.

  1. Having the right tools is important. Having the right tools that work well is sometimes another battle. Renovating the little house has been a challenge. The two of you have been equal to it, though.
