Uh Oh

don't you know the song?

you put your right foot in

YOU PUT YOUR RIGHT FOOT ***OUT***
 
just the shower portion or did you go through to drywall? I'd cover the area with plastic somehow to prevent moisteur from getting between the shower and the wall or inside the wall itself and have lummy fix it. Will take a home depot run for some drywall patch and something to replace the part of the shower that is busted.
 
how did this happen anyway? were you dancing in the shower? practicing martial arts? fucking?

it's a tile shower stall. ceramic tiles. i told him a while ago I thought it was getting moisture inside the wall/behind the tiles because that wall seemed a bit 'soft' (i.e. if you press on it with your hand, there's a little give). well tonight I had my foot up on the wall and I was shaving (my legs u god damn perverts) and BAM! oops right through it went. the tiles just folded in.

now we have to tear everything out and put up drywall (?) and waterproof and put up new tile/a new shower stall :worried: ourselves.

is it the wall with the faucet on it? if so, you probably have a leak inside the wall.
 
tell the truth for once, smurfage. homey was bending you over and put your head thru the wall in a simulated donkey punch, didn't he?
 
Oh shit, I was thinking you had some sort of pre-fab shower/tub combo.

That wall is fixable, will just take some work. If you aren't experienced laying title it can be tricky at first to stay consistant, but after you do that whole wall you'll be a pro. Takes time though and you have to let it dry, then reseal at least once more so you will be without a shower for a few days.
 
you have a leak inside the wall. if you just fix it without finding the source of the water, it'll happen again. what is below the bathroom? basement?
 
Tell ur hubby, buy him a 12er and let him get to work.

after that settle him down with a bj and everything will be fine.

is there any water damage on the living room ceiling?
You're probably going to have to take out that entire shower wall, check for leaks, re-sheetrock, and re-tile. The tiles from that pic aren't expensive- they are standard size and color and you can get them for around 33 cents a tile- make sure you get the right sheetrock for bathrooms though.
AFTER you find the leak.
 
SMurfy if the wall gave way that easily you would be better off replacing the whole thing. Remove enough of the wall to inspect for an interior leak first before dismantling the whole thing.

no theres no visible ater damage in the ceiling at all. we were already planning on tearing the entire shower stall out, repairing what ever needs it, and then re-build from there. not just one wall. the whole thing, including the floor of the shower, shower doors, etc. needs to be replaced and we had been talking about starting that project once the kitchen was finished (which is about finished with the exception of sink/counter top/back splash). so we're just getting started a we bit earlier than expected. also, neither of us know anything about remodeling bathrooms. but lumberg knows a lot and is very smart. he can figure out what needs to be done, and I then have to help him. and he basically said I have to do it with a smile. :rolleyes:

lol, its not that difficult, just take it step by step. I'm about to start remodeling a bathroom in the next few weeks- i've already paid for most of the supplies (some has to be delivered still).

both lowes and home depot have books on remodeling your bathroom- its worth the money to buy one if it helps you not make even one mistake.

actually this first item on the schedule is the library whichopens at 10 where lumberg will check out book(s) on remodeling bathrooms. :)
 
Smurfy said:
so yeah, lumberg's still sleeping.

lol, well, good call on the library book-I've done that for a lot of things (people don't use their library and you pay for it in your taxes), but for the big projects, I often just buy the book.

I can't wait to start my bathroom. I've bought everything except the tile (the floor is going to be brazilian cherry wood) that goes around the tub.

I'm always more afraid I'll put a hole through the bottom of my shower.
 
stilleto said:
smurf, lumberg will probably learn all this, but regular sheetrock shouldn't be used in a shower.

i will definitelymake sure he's aware. we have like 6 books right now. he's already learned a lot. any other hlepful tips you can think of off the top of your head?
 
um also, we DID notice a soft spot in the living room ceiling just under the bathroom. so I guess we're fucked there too. this outta be interesting. maybe it's a good thing I broke through the wall with my powerful front double snap kick.


i mean, while I was shaving,

a few, yeah.
(i do a LOT of home improvements/ remodeling myself)
lets see- if you're going to tile a lot, invest in a tile saw. either rent one, or buy an inexpensive one (they are about $80)- you can make intricate cuts and get the tile exactly where you want it.

I was picking out a counter top at lowes. The granite countertop i wanted was going to run me about $1000. I didn't like the fake stuff or composites, but I had spent a lot of money already... so i asked the sales person and she showed me an in-stock granite counter that was in the same color I wanted anyway- for around $300. my point is to ask and say exactly what you want. a good department manager there will be able to show you some alternatives if you don't see it.

Also, as long as you're redoing it, do it right. I mean, get what you want, and make sure you put in plenty of outlets and lights and fans, etc. You may want to look into a light in the shower.

My bathroom is going to have a cherry colored formal vanity (looks more like furniture than bathroom vanity), with a lot of carved wood, a matching cherry mirror/medicine cabinit, and wood floors. I got a light colored counter top, corner whirlpool tub, and a stall shower with 7 jets that can be all on or only one. I can't wait to start it.
 
that sounds cool. yeah lumberg already knows he replacing the current fan with one that's probably going to be up inside not just installed in the ceiling (i forget what it's called) but also one that's uber powerful. light in shower is good idea. we have a flourescent lighting fixture in there (stuck to the wall - it's a plug in kind) so having a lighting fixture in the ceiling would be better. I'll mention that for sure. We actually want to have to RE-DO as little as we can while still being able to make the necessary repairs.

Lay off the juice!
 
looks like we're pulling up the entire floor and replacing the vanity and everything now due to the water damage we discovered in the subfloor. eh well.

Damn. Will you come live with me?
 
Dumb question, but did you call the insurance company? I had a leak several years ago and ended up replacing the flooring, carpeting, cabinet and fixing the leak. It was all covered in my homeowners policy, less the deductible.

Peace

smurfy, plywood under a shower?? HORRIBLY dumb (not you, the previous owner/builder). Should be cement board:

and here- read the first paragraph:
http://www.usg.com/ShowNewsArticle....com/newsite/releaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=26262

use LOTS of screws to put it in, and make sure the subfloor is level.

even though it's not a tile floor/wall? it was one of those fiberglass insert floor bases.

oh wait. now I get it (sorry it was early when I originally responded). the walls of the old shower stall WERE tile (not the floor/base). we pulled down something WITH the tiles. something that appeared to be just some drywall. so yeah, I didnt see any cement board backing of any kind. the place was built in the early 80s.(i believe 1982) there were also a lot of nails which eventually rusted. i guess they didnt have cordless power tools back then? anywho, we will be installing according to manufacturer recs, in order to maintain maximum warranty on our products. and we are absolutely not usintg tile of any kind anywhere in the shower stall.
 
Damn that sucks! Sorry but LOL. This is the first time I have ever heard of some one putting their foot through a shower wall!

Yes, even with that. water can leak behind the walls and erode a plywood floor that's under your shower- you definately don't want that stability compromised. Its sturdier, and waterproof.

oh, and NO nails. only screws.
