Bought my house about 10 years ago, and the previous owner ( my belief ) got the house from an older couple - the house was built in 1973 - and he did a bunch of "upgrades" ( and I use that tern loosely ) to the house with possible intentions of flipping the house and making a cha-ching amount of money.
The house still needed a LOT of work - and me, being a handyman, was willing to take it on.
Well . . . he put down pergo flooring in the house ( Personally I hate the stuff and the color that he chose was terrible ) . . . He put it in the guest bathroom too ! A leaky toilet, and all of the pergo flooring was cupping in the guest bath . . .
So . . . time to remodel . . . ( and see how this snowballs into other projects . . . )
The pergo has been pulled up everywhere except for under the toilet . . . under the pergo - was linoleum flooring . . . figures . . .
And . . . under the linoleum was 12 x 12 tiles - before I found the plywood
The cabinet was a piece of junk, some of the drawer faces were already un-stapling from the drawers . . . time to tear it out too . . .
It's gone . . . Oh, and he painted the walls with a "fake granite" paint . . . so the walls were like 80 grit sandpaper . . . don't bump up against it . . . OUCH ! ! !
Trying to still get all the flooring out . . .
And the 80 grit wall came out with it too . . .
Finally . . . all cleaned up . . . Well kinda . . . see the "black" area on the floor by the location where the toilet use to be . . .
Oh . . . ant the tub - I think he tore out the door frame to get this "new" one in here - but, I HATE them . . . after years, they start to crack and leak. Will not take out the door frame and wall to remove it - so I cut the darn thing out . . . piece by piece . . .
More cutting and removal . . .
And the last of it . . .
Will update more later . . . got a ton of pictures of the work in progress . . .
