Demo Photos #3 - Week of 16 Dec - Not to believe rot

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! This whole place would have been so much easier to execute on with leveling first... I wonder how many trucks of thinset were brough in to execute this?

The wood palette has a future as an organizer/shelving coming in from back door. Replacement of wood rot under kitchen sink window (and area where studs were once removed to allow for back of dishwasher). Note front vinyl gutter - never really did its job due to its size; water ran past the gutter toward the front courtyard. Inspiration - the light relief above mantle. Front tile carefully stripped off, roofers are prepared to lay a roof membrane to seal the roof after decking/rot fixes. The wooden structure holding the tiles also needed to be replaced. Tiles organized - some 'sad face' tiles are one size, the 'happy face' cover tile is another. Most of deck was in good shape. Some of it did rot and need to ge replaced. Once new wooden structure was put into place, the 'bird guard' at front could be laid in place and the tiles meticulously attached. This was comforting to see! Wood rotted skylight, LOL ;) Oops,...
