Bathroom reno

The old bathroom was ugly, no doubt.

It didn't have any serious functional issues except the toilet ran all the time and the toilet smelled bad.

When Ma and Pa Stewart visited a few weeks ago, we put them in charge of toilet replacement.  We found that the stink from the toilet was actually the rotting floor boards under the toilet.  This also explained why the toilet was leaning.  So.... New toilet = new floor.  If we were going to out in a new floor, that meant we needed to tear out the old wall paneling.  All of a sudden, we were renovating the entire bathroom.  Here are some more pictures.

Messy.

New floor.

We are still finishing the moulding.  Stay tuned for final photos.

I also harvests green beans from my garden.

What started off as let's replace the toilet has turned into a major bathroom renovation.  This is what we had to work with.

After we pulled off the paneling,  we found that either someone scored the wall with a fork before applying the adhesive or they let a mongoose loose.  Needless to say, we had to patch and sand a lot.

The old flooring lifted up easier than expected so we ripped it out.

The stink next to the toilet wasn't actually the toilet.  I was the rotting floor boards underneath.  This was what was causing the toilet to lean significantly.


Matt and my dad made expert Hardie board cuts so we are ready to lay tile today.  Stay tuned.
