Seeking God Knows What

Today we did the home improvement store tour looking for flooring for our main bathroom. We had decided to remove the carpet and current linoleum to put down 1 ft X 1 ft vinyl tiles, something we did in our last house (along with replacing rotted studs and mildewed wallboard when we replaced the tub surround). We found tiles we liked at Menards (the third store) and made note of some laminate flooring we liked to replace the linoleum and grooved hardwood in our kitchen/ dining area. We get home and I decided to pull up the carpet, so we could get started tonight figuring it isn’t a huge bathroom, we can get it done tonight.

This is what we discovered under the carpet.

Oh yeah, mildewed, rotten subfloor. Fortunately, it hasn’t spread throughout the entire bathroom but now our inexpensive, quick update has become more money and more time. T is in there as we speak, taking layer and layer of ruined subfloor up. Joy. Widget is very unhappy and won’t be distracted from standing at the bathroom door since Daddy is behind the door and she loves the bathroom.
