But it's not by choice, we had a leak in the shower that ruined the carpet in the hallway and in the master bedroom. Let's give a little bit of a back story. My house was built 1964, before the state building codes were established for more efficient homes, and I purchased it in 2005. It came to my realization of the failed codes when I found out that my roof decking was not made of even 3/4 inch plywood, but instead 1/4 inch interior paneling. Yup the same type you find in some older homes. Luckily it survived a series of bad storms. I replaced the roof in 2006 myself with the help of my good friend Duke. I will write about that experience later.
Why you ask am I doing this blog? This blog is to help assist others who have decided to tackle projects on their own. I am not a contractor, builder but an amature DIY. Trust me its not as easy as they show on TV. They edit a lot out of the projects to make the 30 minute or 1 hour show. But I am also doing this because there is little information on the older homes.
So let's start with my new project the bathroom. The series of pictures are all taken over a two month period from the beginning to where I am today. This is a labor of love, sweat and strangely enough peace.
