So this is currently my bathroom floor. Let me explain... our tub has been having major drainage issues. So Monday night Brad started snaking the drain for the billionth time so our tub didn't fill up with 6 inches of water while we were showering. While doing so he blew through the galvanized pipe because it was so rotted out. Therefore we had a hole in the drainage system of our tub and the water started leaking through the light fixture in the kitchen ceiling!
That was really fun. So we had no choice but to replace the entire drainage system for the tub, which meant tearing out the floor to get to the pipes. Now we had already done this for our bathroom sink because those pipes too rotted out and had major drainage issues, so I guess we knew this was coming. So today, Brad and his friend Joe spent hours tearing up tile and concrete to expose the pipes and replacing them with wonderful new
PVC pipes (cannot rot out!!!!). They also had to replace part of the copper water line because while Brad was chipping away at the concrete the water line was accidentally hit and water started shooting out and hitting the ceiling (
very comical if it wasn't my bathroom). So now we have running water and can take a shower with no standing water...which I am soooooo excited about doing tomorrow, but our
floor needs some help. The good thing is that we might as well just re-do the entire bathroom at this point, which is something we might not have done if this didn't happen. Oh and by the way we are not leaving the floor with gaping holes in it, it is being covered up with plywood for now until we can pull up the rest of the floor and get a new tub, etc. Hopefully we will be able to get this done soon!
