I really needed to get the floor sealed up to keep out the local small animal population. I guess removing the rotted floor pieces removed most of the smell along with it. Today I started replacing the plywood with new 3/4 inch plywood which will act as the base for the luann that will cover the entire floor and should act as a smooth base for my tile.
I am using R13 insulation under the floor and in the ceiling. Hopefully this will keep things nice and warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
It looks like I will need to cut out more of the floor and replace it because of the wood bracing under it is rotted. I can't wait until the entire floor is solid and tiled!
I am not a big fan of the laminate in the kitchen it's worn and mainly white. I thought this was from the 50's?? White?? Come on! I have a sample of boomerang laminate from Menards in a blue color that would be cool. They quoted me $72.00 for a 4x8 sheet...Can this be right? Anyway, the piece behind the stove seemed loose so I unscrewed the screws and it came right off. Amazing no liquid nail stuff under it! I'm adding a few new outside shots I took today, boy the grass is growing!
