I think that’s the nicest thing I can say about who ever the idiot is who worked on our first floor bathroom last. For starters, the proper way to repair a ceiling that has been water damaged IS NOT to simply leave the soaked and soggy drywall attached, and put another sheet of quarter inch drywall over it. The biggest reason that this cheap, and disgusting, “fix” didn’t work is that they didn’t bother fixing the reason for the damage in the first place! So the leak from the bathroom above persisted, till the leak went through both layers of drywall and they were forced to fix something in the offending pipes above…
But the drywall still looked like THIS underneath. I hope you can all keep your lunch after looking at that….
I wish the idiocy had ended there, but I wasn’t that lucky. Whenever they “repaired” the ceiling, they also decide to put new tile up in this bathroom. They decided it was a great idea to save themselves some time and put the tile up over the unsized wallpaper… So that when I went to take down the tile, there was not way to pop the tile off the wall like you could normally do with older tile. It was almost like they used glue instead of mortar! With every chunk of tile that came off, chunks of drywall collapsed too…
At this point, the only thing to do is tear out the rest of the drywall, and redo the whole bathroom. OH WELL! I didn’t really like the color of that toilet anyway… Ha ha ha!
