tile removal...

dad came over this weekend and helped me make a big hole in the kitchen floor.

turned out to be a bit of a messy job --why builders thought 6" of concrete was the best way to lay a tile floor in the 40's is beyond me -- but we've now got a temporary plywood floor in the footprint of old bathroom that's being added to the kitchen. it'll stay until we can get someone out to look at what will need to be done to the joists -- they were "altered" somewhat in the tile laying -- to lay a proper subfloor.

we also removed the old bathroom door frame and framed in the hole so that we can drywall up the opening, so, all-in-all it was a productive weekend.

yeah, well i figured that a hole in the floor (from the toilet drain that was recently removed) that was big enough to swallow a newly mobile 6-month old was a situation that needed some immediate attention.
