Dad, Gina and Levi came up last Thursday to help us install the kitchen tile. We tore out the old subfloor, put in new subfloor, cement board and then laid tile on that. The actual tiling didn't take long, but taking out the old subfloor was more work than we expected!
Tear out on Thursday night (like my earplugs?)
the plywood was brittle and nailed down every two inches on the seams, so it took 4 hours or more to get it all out.
We discovered that the floor below the plywood was not very sturdy! Note the holes!!!
The mess
Another view of the mess, and you can see we finally got all the plywood torn out.

Oh wow. You have been busy. It's gonna look nice, though. You are much more ambitious than I am.
