dancerjodiI'm proud to say that when they were done for the day the plumber told Brian our bathroom was indeed the worst they had ever seen. It makes you feel special.

There's lots of plumbing stupid in there. Apparently the drain to the tub was just sitting on top of the waste pipe - it wasn't actually attached. A large enough person showering in there and stepping on the floor could have moved it such that all of the water would have drained into our floor. Lovely.
It looks like the fake wood flooring was put on cement board, which is then on some ancient peel and stick tile, on the original floor. Bizarre.
Brian and I will spend the weekend gutting the room, walls and floor and he'll be able to run the outlet for the tub. The plumbers will come by most likely next Tuesday (they were already booked for most of Monday) and they'll start re-plumbing it all from attic to basement. Fun.
I'm glad I added another $1k to our budget. I'm not sure exactly how much the plumber's bill will be, but at around $150 or so an hour and a couple days of work ahead of us, its going to painful. I think we'll come in *just* around budget. Phew.
