Just now re-reading this phrase: "...Unfortunately today, we were joined by Bill, Paul Goldberg, Greg and Jerry..." HAHA.  Hope that was a grammatical oops..

Just  an update on the bar situation.

 

  Paul Roy and I started the demo last week.  We were shocked to see the amount of rot under the floor, but thought we could patch the floor together and move on.   Unfortunately today, we were joined by Bill, Paul Goldberg, Greg and Jerry and decided to remove the sections with rot.   That was opening Pandora’s box!!  We removed 7 layers   (1.5 inches thick- see photo) of completely soaked material including a sandwich of plywood, tile, plywood, tile and more plywood until (luckily!!) we got to the bottom layer, protected by tar paper and relatively intact, although still water stained.  We’re going to let that dry out and move  on from there, this becoming a much larger project that we anticipated.

 

The amount of water in the floor made leaving the current floor in place just not viable.  The water has also migrated into the walls creating a significant mold problem.  

 

The plan now is:

 

1-      Remediate the mold problem by spraying with a mold inhibitor

2-      Lay a new3/4 “ pressure treated subfloor behind bar, and remove 2 feet of carpeting in front of the bar and remove rotted plywood and replace with 1/2 “  plywood.

3-      Frame  the bar with 2x 10 lumber

4-      Lay a waterproof decoupling membrane (schluter DITRA) on the floor

5-      Tile the floor behind the bar and 2 feet in front of the bar.   I suggest we hire someone to do this step.   Unfortunately I was hoping we  could patch this together, but  it’s just not the right way to do it, and would lead to significant structural problems in the future.   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
