I just started ripping out our rotten ensuite tiled shower tonight. What a mess. Where there should have been some nice white drywall there’s a rotten mush. It looks like it was sealed in and vapour barriered pretty well though so I haven’t hit any rotten wood yet (knock on some other wood). My plan is to have it all ripped out this weekend while Shelley is away in Edmonton, so we can start deciding what we want to do with it next week.
You have no sense do you Ian. I do anmire your pluck as you pile into these jobs. Anyway use the waterproof drywall. Its amazing stuff.
“Necessity is the mother of invention”. I only do it because I HAVE to. I got 900 lbs (400 kg) or drywall and tile out this weekend. The hole looks okay and the only wood rot seems to be on the wall I’m taking out anyway, so things look good so far. I have to get a plumber in to move the pipes, or just bite the bullet and do it myself. How hard could it be? But first we need to go buy the basin and fixtures we want. I expect a $1000 worth of that stuff. Am I having fun yet?!
Plumbing + wiliamson = tears.
How hard could it bee to move pipes indeed ….
Where do yu get the money to do these things? Are you rich or WHAT?
Check your homeowner’s policy Ian. Look under the section….”Idiot attempts to Plumb”….Scott is dead right.
By the way, get photos of the watwerfalls on your stairs, eh?
Ian you closest advirors are trying to tell you something. However by now you will have committed to the project. lets hope we don;t get to say ” I told you so” bwhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
copper pipe or that plastic crap?
Well, I haven’t yet decided if I’ll do the actual plumbing myself. I have a REAL plumber coming tomorrow morning to give me an estimate on the work to be done. If it’s not too hard or it’s very expensive, I may do it myself. There will be no “watwer falls” on the stairs!
I love the support I get from the family! 😉
Hey we are supportive … just realistically supportive.
