Week 2. Mold Gone. Fresh Start.


So, this is the 2nd week on the remodel that started as the 'Mold Mess'.  We have removed all the old framing and now started fresh this week.  We have 'hot mopped' to seal the shower floor and bench area.  Sonny and Rob floated the walls earlier in the week and have been busy setting tile.  You are only as good as your guys and we have the best.  Pure artists that care and take pride in their work.  We have also finished the new electrical, plumbing and built the new closet wall to replace the old mirrored sliding doors.  We installed the cabinets and ordered the new counter top.  So this weeks progress was good.  I will update again next week!

Mold Mess

This is the bathroom we are currently remodeling.  The homeowners had the shower and tub remodeled in 2003.  Unfortunately, the local contractor chose to install a tub that should never be used in this application.  As you can see in the close up shots, there is not a tile flange on this tub.  The contractor tried to add a tile flange by using silicone.  The silicone wore out consequently letting the water that runs down the shower walls, hit the tub and run behind the tub instead of inside.  Over the last few years the water has destroyed the framing and caused massive mold damage.  We removed all of the damaged lumber and reframed the area.  I will keep you updated on the progress!
