1434 Fulton

The entry foyer was in surprisingly good shape; it was made of concrete, so it survived water damage. Debris, but there's still some hope; the original architecture is in tact and beautiful to my eyes (though I'm suffering remorse at this stage) Filled this, and smaller dumpster below, to the brim.... Bathroom and kitchen floor rot exposed under many layers of tile and thinset What's left of the bathroom floor? Really nothing; all the joists were rotted too. The thickness of the thinset used to "level" the sections of the floor. This was the amount of thinset to disguise uneven floor in bathroom. Come on!

When I purchased, there was 3-4 inches of thickset on which tile was mounted. Bathroom - Every part of floor was rotted through; most sections with visible holes in subflooring missing/fallen.

Picture from most recent remodel by previous own revealed live wires and exposure to rot... This section had been reframed in with sheetrock with a 'frame' around them. I had though this had once been a built in ironing board so I didn't pry this off during inspection. Work done right before I purchased Septic Vent was missing elbow pipe allowing septic gases to come into kitchen near sink; not reconstructed correctly or came undone during earlier "remodel" Studs removed by owner to install dishwasher at some stage in ownership... the near by studs are rotted through from water and neglect Above a reference photo of dishwasher from MLS listing in 2014, prior to most recent remodel. Unfortunately the shallow cabinetry meant

"1434 is a Spanish gem but needs the attention of historical restoration (though no ext updates beyond paint and the replacement of a few chipped tiles, and rebuild of period Alamo-style garage).
