Future bedroom! Deconstruction - Part 4 - The Saga Continues!
So next on our list was the removal of the old flooring in the bedroom. There was an old parquet floor installed in almost all of this side of the house. If you look closely at this photo you can see the outline of the square tiles on the floor.

We started with some shovels we found in the garage but quickly found that those little buggers were glued down real well. So we once again went back to the trusy little multi-function tool from Harbor Freight. This thing has really proven itself useful for us!
So the middle of the room wasn't glued down quite as heavily as the sides.

One of us would use the multi-function tool to scrape up the sides of the tiles and the other one would use the shovel as can be seen leaning up against the wall on the left there to try to scrape up as much of the tiles as possible. It was a slow process, but we made steady progress.

And before we knew it we were done! Took 2 half days to get that guy cleared off.

Turns out the tongue and groove sub-floor underneath is in pretty good condition, so we're going to leave that in place. We're pretty excited about that. We really didn't know what to expect. We were hoping we wouldn't find anymore special kitty places.

So now that we've got most of the mess making tear-downs taken care of we finally got around to installing the new sub-floor in the area where we pulled up the subfloor. We bought some 3/4" T&G plywood and got to it!
We sized it up first to make sure it fit correctly...

Looks good so far.
Glued.

And Screwed!

Alright! Our first construction, as opposed to de-construction! Actually quite sturdy too!

Moving right along!

And before we even knew it we were done!

It's quite sturdy now. And the room is slowly losing that cat-pee aroma as it's being replaced by the scent of freshly cut lumber. A vast improvement!

Stay tuned! I'm not even sure what's coming up next!!!

The insillation looks nicely done and the floor is at the same level as the floor you uncovered? But it needs to be polished and buffed as best as I can see. it is LOOKING GOOD as one of grandma Shirley's relatives would say!
