Started framing up toilet and shower walls.
But, as I'm prone to do, I ran into a problem with the kitchen sink drain that runs down through the shower.
Obviously, it has to be moved to put up ceramic tile. There was a tiny mound of concrete where drain enters the floor. Very suspicious, much like the concreted in toilet I pulled with no flange underneath.
So I hit the little mound with a chisel.
The pipe just runs into terra cotta pipe that was chipped out and then covered with the little mound of concrete.
I now literally hate the lazy ass mother fucker who built this place. I wanted the mound out to lay tile over flat.
Now I have to play plumber again tomorrow, cut old pipe, see if it lifts out easy, and get a new plastic pipe and some 45's to see if I can, A. move it out of shower, and B. re-enter it into the terra cotta and seal it flatter.
Old houses are disgusting to remodel.
I'm not having my best week ever.
