Bathroom or Bucket?

Matt has started deconstruction on the bathroom now. And surprisingly, we are having more problems. lol. He found extensive termite damage to the linen closet. Enough that he will have to replace most of the 2x4s, shelves, and drywall in the closet and tub. We have called orkin to come out and inspect to see if the termites are still there. I can only hope the previous owners took care of the termites, but left the damage for us to fix.

Yesterday Matt removed the faucets and shower head and the wall they were attached to. And for some reason added valves to the pipes in the closet behind it. He says it will be easier to shut the water off at the shower if there is a problem than all the water in the house. It kind of makes sense. But while he was sautering on the new valves he charred the support 2x4s. So now it smells like the house caught on fire. He says that wont be a problem later. And there are nasty char marks on the wood. Lesson #6- Sauter away from wooden structures supports.

Good thing we have two bathrooms, or he would be doing all his business outside. He still may before this is all over with.
