/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Generic whitefolk. I don't care where their ancestors fornicated.

The damage was concealed behind poorly installed drywall. The dip in the floor is (was) behind and under the vanity, the inspector could not have seen it. The cement board that was on the floor seems to have bridged the valley for the tile, so to speak.

In general the house was patched up convincingly enough on the surface. We did see the extra height and knew they had layered a second floor on, not uncommon and we had planned to remodel the bath (and kitchen) in any case.

The kitchen is next with similar layering of floor in there but we can see the joists for that from the utility room and we know it's not messed up like the bathroom wall. The tile job in the kitchen is absolute shit. I hate pulling up cement backer, with any luck it will also have the too-short screws which made it a little easier.

Fortunately it's a bog standard 1970s vintage house so setting up a nicer than rental spec bathroom doesn't take all that much.
