Bathroom Floor

We unexpectedly had to redo the main bathroom's floor this last week. We were planning on doing it next spring because we knew the laminate in there wouldn't late long. The laminate had not been installed correctly.  But, due to a slow sink leak and a toilet with a bouncy ball, we had the privilege of fixing it early!
Since we were not planning it at this time I failed to take before pictures. This Picture is from when we moved in  in July. You can kind of see the fake pink swirly tiles with glitter in them.  They went shoulder level around the room. and you can see the laminate floor as well. 
Here is a close up of the laminate. I grabbed my camera after most of it was pulled up. 



The linoleum that was under the laminate. 
Under the linoleum was a layer of tar paper and then the wood sub floor. 

 We just had to replace a couple of the boards. Most of it was still dry because of the layer of linoleum under the laminate. I did not take pictures of the sub floor going in.

This was when we got to the tricky part. Joe did a very nice job cutting the tiles just right for this little space. 
 A few after pictures. 

The fake pink tiles all painted white!


Here is the bathroom all done for now. I am sure as time and money permit more changes will be made in the future.  For now the floor is fixed, the leaks are all gone and no more 80's( or maybe 90's can't decide) pink on the walls!
