Well we discovered that the hallway floor was much worse than we anticipated! We had to remove all of the old tiles and then try to find the multitude of screws that was used to fix down the thin underlay plywood that was used on top of the old floor. The issue is that the screws were then covered with thin set that was not applied thinly! We discovered that they screwed and nailed down this plywood at least every four inches! The best method is to put a commercial ice scraper underneath the plywood and pop the floor up in pieces, vacuum all of the thin set "sludge" and then find the screws and take them out of the floor. It is a slow and torturous process for sure! Well tonight we are at the mom-in-law's for supper so will be taking a break from the floor. YAY! We will get back to it tomorrow night and hopefully clear the last bit and be ready to put the floor down on Wednesday evening.
Today is laundry and household chores before heading out for supper.
