Well the damage to the floor was much worse than I expected. It had spread much further in every direction under the floor. I spent much of the day pulling up the fake 80’s style tile linoleum and then pulling up the sub flooring. The plywood below was wet but I don’t think it is damaged. It did smell like what you would expect after this type of leakage. I had to take a break every once and a while to clear the head.
Once I had gotten all the bad wood up I sprayed it down with disinfectant hoping to kill anything nasty the water may have carried with it and to kill any mold that may have started on the plywood. I am going to let it dry out for a bit and make sure everything is okay before putting new wood down.
We had been planning on doing the front entry way in something new someday. Well this floor project has sped that up. Looks like I will be taking up all the old 80’s style linoleum and putting down new. Looks like next weekend is already booked.
