So I guess I'm getting a new bathroom....

Comment Published at 17:4717:475 comments5 comments26 Visits26 VisitsReport

In continuing with my home renos, i decided to paint the downstairs half bath. Sounds simple, eh? Well then I decided to pull up the baseboards because they'd be easier to paint. Again... really simple!

THERE WAS MOLD!!!! And my subfloor is friggin rotten!!!!

So I bought a pry bar to take the subfloor up so I can replace it... And in a fit of passion I smashed it (only 6 or 7 times!) into the wall. So I guess I'm going to have to get a new bathroom. Hopefully one with a nice big tub :)

Looking into contractors now...

I probably shouldn't have smashed the drywall off... but maybe it'll save me some money in labour costs when they come and make everything pretty!

Well.. I should probably go back to smashing...

Very theraputic... I'd recomend it.

PMSL, I have to agree, smashing stuff can be a huge stress relief. My favourite toy is with out a doubt a 20 lb sledgehammer. LOL

And when you have everything just the way you want it, can you come to my place and try and convince the owners we need new floors, walls and a roof? lol.

Make sure you post pics when it is all finished.  Oh, and some of your handy work too! lol.

Hi honey,

I hear that smashing walls is great and helps to relieve a lot of tension . . he he he . . That being said, I'' not game enough to try it as I'd porbaby hit something electrical with my luck ,,  he he he . .

Watch out for those contractors as they can be EXTREMELY pricey . . Have you though about trying to do it yourself. Checkout out some 'do it yourself' sites . . Who know it may not be as hard as you think!!

Cheers  © Kellz

Smashing walls is very theraputic! I did the wall between my kitchen and lounge. Lots of fun. My son even had a go. Hard part was geting him to stop!

Here is a link to refurber, Clay and Rachels other site for home reno people. Not as active as Minti but you can ask questions and get some great tips.

Thanks for the link! I had no idea that Clay and Rachel had another website!

I checked it out briefly last night. I'm gonna join when I've got time!

I can do framing and electrical stuff, but the plumbing is beyond me. lol. And it's probably be way faster just to hire someone.
