Today was a great example of two heads are better than one. I knew there would be some water damage repair needed for the current project. After Damien pulled the sub floor, some serious structural issues became very apparent. We put our years of experience together to come up with a plan to fix this complicated issue. I think the problem solving requirements for remodeling is something we both enjoy about this kind of work. The person who made the previous repairs had good intentions and over did the misguided fix. There is at least a one inch dip in the floor over 5 feet. The joists were cut and new ones scabbed in with plywood gussets without any structural support. We now have to add a pier, post, and beam to carry the old floor and hang the new floor from it. Three extra days of very specialized work is going to be needed. On one hand, I'm jealous that Damien gets to do this one. On the other hand, there will be blood, sweat, and tears to get this where it should be. This is a ton of work and when the bathroom is complete, no one will know how much work went into making the floor flat.
