Moving onto the bathroom

For the closet in the weird bedroom, I decided I didn't want to deal with leveling the floor because of the ceiling being so low, and it wouldn't be too noticeable since people can't really walk around in there.  I regretted that after trying to put the OSB down since the tongue wouldn't go into the grove on the other board so I had to cut it off.

To start on the bathroom, I had to move the stockpile of stuff out of it first

Here's another angle to show how much the floor sank in this part of the house

Getting the layer of plywood up was a massive pain in the ass because of the ridiculous amount of nails

The other other sheet had a ton of water damage (and nails), so this made me decide to switch from OSB for the subfloor to pressure treated plywood

The whole area around the toilet was absolutely disgusting, it doesn't come across well through pictures though.  There was some kind of flaky build-up over a lot of the wood and pipes which were directly under it

This is the old subfloor from the whole 2nd floor excluding the master bedroom, it's amazing how much less space it takes up when it's actually the floor.

Here it is with all the subfloor pulled up, way too much insulation to shovel out...  This also explains why the floor was sagging so much, it's hard to see because of all of the insulation, but those joists are butchered



Well time to go to Lowes and pick up some 16' 2x8s to reinforce all of it I guess

I don't even have to cut much material off of them

Rubber roofing

Finally time to actually start on the rubber roof.  That plastic I put down held up surprisingly well for how long it was there. Had to put ...
