Van Gogh Bathroom: Floor Tile Removed

As noted a few days ago, one of the new bathrooms upstairs (which serves a guest bedroom) has been partially demolished in order to diagnose the source of leaking water and to abate the accompanying mold that has started to grow on the sub-flooring. My general contractor Peter LaRoque and his assistant Robert were back again this past Saturday to finish taking up the tile flooring and removing the grout dry-set underneath it. They applied mold abatement chemicals to the subflooring underneath.

Pete wanted to go ahead and start patching the places where he has had to cut into the drywall, but because we are not certain about the cause or source of the water that was leaking, this will be delayed until he has a chance to get an HVAC consult on the leak to that system and determine if the water and the low freon are connected issues.
