Hello all,
We have had a "how deep does the rabbit hole go?" experience in our basement. Back in February, we had some water damage due to a backed up drain. So, we bought some carpet to be installed. Taking up the old carpet, we found two layers of tile, both of which contained asbestos. So we scheduled tile removal. Since we had to have all of our stuff out of the room, I decided it was time to remove the ugly wood paneling on the wall. Behind the paneling was moldy drywall. So, we removed the paneling and the drywall, ripped out the built in bar and bench seat, and are now sitting in a 21' by 19' box that, after today, should be down to the concrete, the studs, and the insulation. The only thing left is: do we replace the insulation? It may be moldy. We're going to have someone look at it this week.
Sigh.
I originally thought this was going to be a three week thing, get the carpet replaced and spruce the downstairs up a bit. Now, I'm not sure where it will end or how much it will cost. The joys of home ownership...
