The day after demolition

The day after demolition was a day of rest.

But here's what happened on Monday:


the floor joists, while not rotten or cut, are too thin to support the plank tile floor properly

these photos show the added beams to double up the joists.

see those sticking up screws? the previous floor was screwy.
 There were screws every 8" in sections of the bathroom and in the entire hallway. After dinner dad and I unscrewed the floor till he has to go and look up discount flights. I finished the job and vaccuumed. a lot. construction sites are dirty.

here's one floor they put down. it seems to be a plastic vinyl with a paper backing. look at all those bad screw holes.

this floor has texture and I haven't been able to easily rip it up. I kinda like it.
