Flooring removed and safely set aside.<\/p><\/div>\n

With big plans to fly through the floor and get right to the walls, we hit a major set back once the floor was up. \u00a0The two joists under the side window had been water damaged on the end and were no longer supporting the floor.<\/p>\n

Before and after.<\/p><\/div>\n

It took all day to fix these by cutting off 3 feet from the end, and sandwiching pressure treated wood between two 2x8s. \u00a0We also leveled the other 4 joists with treated shims. \u00a0The end result is a strong and level base for Siri’s bathroom tile to sit on.<\/p>\n

Glued, screwed and bolted. This MUST be strong enough now.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Put up walls on Sunday? Nope. \u00a0Dad suggested we do the drain plumbing while everything was easy to get to. \u00a0We had to put a hole in the external brick wall for a 3″ drain and remove the 4″ cast iron stack. \u00a0We also decided that while we were at Home Depot getting plumbing supplies, we should also get all of the dry wall for the 2nd and 3rd floors. \u00a0Why now? \u00a0It would be impossible to get large sheets up the stairway so its best we slide it up through the open floor while we still can. \u00a0This took us into the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Finally, late Sunday afternoon, with the joists repaired, the plumbing in and the drywall stacked in the corner, we got to cut and lay down the plywood floor. \u00a0Although it took longer than I had hoped to get to this point, I believe this will save us time and hassle in the future by better support the bathrooms tile flooring.<\/p>\n

Siri and dad showing off the new bathroom subfloor! Thanks mom & dad for coming down and helping all weekened.<\/p><\/div>\n

Next step is building our bathroom walls. \u00a0Hopefully I learned enough this past weekend to do it right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
