EXTREME MAKEOVER

This is the first house for Ryan and me, and let's just say we learn more about home ownership every day. We found out the previous owners covered up some water damage in the master bath. We didn't just find this out, but we recently got to find out how bad the problem is.

Thankfully Ryan's dad was able to help us out majorly (this is not covered by insurance). He demoed and started building back the walls. We also killed a family of roaches living in the walls, which were still damp after two months of the shower not being used. It's not finished yet, but we're on our way to a very water-proof shower.

Getting ready for the demo.

Ryan "demoing."

After the frame came down, you could already see some rotting.

Noah wanted to be in the middle of it all.

No more shower.

I had no idea it would look this way.

Is it level yet?
