Replacing a floor a bathroom.


About four months ago, I got a call from a guy here in the park. Could I stop by and give him a price. Sure can. So Roy and I went over to this guys home. The floor in the bathroom was being held up with the vinyl flooring ONLY. 
You really can not see how bad this floor is yet. 
So we gave him a price. That was to replace the flooring and put in a new vanity and toilet. 
I think we said $850.
He talked it over with his wife and told me that they can not do it at this time. 


So I saw him during the 4th of July party at the pool. He asked me to stop by and see what they have done. I walked in and said wow. What happen was his son, came down and is staying with them for a while and he tore the flooring out. So now we know how bad it really is. 
So we gave him a price for the wood only and labor, $250.00. So on Monday of this week Roy and I did the work. 



The bad part about all this is, I kept stepping on the bad wood and almost fell in a couple of times. But by His Grace I didn't get hurt at all. I even worn gloves on this job. It smelled and it was even scary a little. Do you see the holes in the wall???? Plus there is a 240 volt line that has been chewed on.
Plus the closet was shot too. I didn't think about replacing that part. But as we kept moving forward we repaired it all.  






You can see we reinforced the 2x6 studs and ran runner along side of them. 





It took us about 5 hours to do this job. But at the end I was very happy to see how nice it came out and I know the owners of the home are very pleased too. 
Not sure when they want to finish this up? He was telling me maybe next month we could do the tile work next? 
I am so blessed to be able to do work like this and make a couple of buck too.
