Bathroom renovation - Demolition


Sunday we got to demolishing the bathroom.  Turned out to be a lot more work than expected and Beau has to go back during the week to finish it during his free time.

We realized the bath tub is just a fiber glass cover over the old bath tub and tiles.  We decided to replace the bath tub.  I started taking out the linoleum floor and there were three layers underneath it.  Some layers looked wet.  To be safe we are going to take the whole floor out and put in a new sub floor.  That's one thing to keep in mind with renovating.  You don't know exactly what you are getting into until you start demolition.  Always leave some room in your budget for the unexpected.
