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\u2019s 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. <!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f">
