At last, no more drywall! We have finally taken out the last of the plasterboard and have also removed all of the stud walling that needed to come out. Now, we have NO TOILET or walls, but what we do have is BIG PLANS.
Yes, spot on. Four by two is now 3 3/4 by 1 3/4. The high-speed toilet demo was awesome. Great video. They may have had flooding from the outside getting into the building, hence the extra layer of concrete on the floor.
Once all the plumbing was ripped out and the rotten wood removed, it all dried up very quickly. The cause was definitely leaky joints everywhere in the kitchen ad particularly in the bathroom
Great work, I’d recommend that you both wear a P2/N95 mask at least until you’ve sorted that mould-out. Once you’ve sorted the causes of the damp, may want to consider painting the walls/floors by adding anti-fungal agents into the paint tins and mixing properly before painting. These are available at the paint-shops, your hardware stores, perhaps google what’s available where youse are. Lime, bleach and vinegar are also good to clean the areas but imo, better & more efficient to paint over with anti fungal additives in the paint. I wouldn’t brush or disturb the mould/mildew, would paint over as per the above. Good luck with the rest of the renovation.
You might be right, but I haven't seen that before, ever. It can't be good for the timber soleplate to be encased like that, as we saw, it was all rotten.
@@MyPropertyChannel Yeah, not ideal. This method is commonly used with steel studs and floating screed these days, the screed sits on insulation and is separated from the walls using foam strips. If the stud walls were on top of the screed they'd crack where they meet the outside walls and they'd transmit noise to and from the floor.
Not in our county. A bag of plasterboard, wood, rubble, anything related to construction, is considered trade waste and is charged at £3.50 a bag! It gets expensive.......
