Ok, most of the kitchen is torn out.
Found some more questionable stuff, which sucks, but not surprising.
How does this one strike you?
That is a wall stud for the bath room and it is sitting on top of a piece of flooring, the flooring that I'm removing.
The clowns who did this should be flogged, I cannot imagine doing this bad work.
They put mini sleepers (if that is what you call them) on top of the floor joists, and they are all over the place, nothing is done right.
Also they put the floor in first, no subfloor, and then built the walls on top of that, so the flooring is impossible to get out to replace without damaging the bottoms of all the walls..... YIKES!
Still have to open two more walls for the plumbing, and I'm thinking it might just be faster to replace all the drywall and be done with it, messing around with old drywall is no fun, it lets go and the paper is bad etc etc.
I'm also considering removing the mini sleepers and putting down the full 1" thick, (OK it's actually 24mm thick) subflooring, and then the 12mm subfloor I bought already and finally the 12mm flooring, this adds up to 48mm, the flooring and mini sleepers I have now add up to 54mm so the new floor would be 6mm, a 1/4" lower than the old floor, I don't think that would matter, and boy would it be a better floor. Really that is the way I should do it.
Tomorrow I'll get the rest of the floor out then I'll get the plumbing started, I have to get the plumbing in before start fixing up anything else, so that is high on the list.
So far 8 big bags of garbage all hand bogged down to the 1st floor and stacked here and there..... boy I'm tired!
Cheers!
