I told my elderly judge friend that I'd fix a few tiles and regrout the floor of his shower…

Then I found out the floor pan is leaking to the basement. No biggie. I'll just cut it out a few inches up and do a new pan.

Then I started cutting and kept finding wet plaster. So I cut higher.

And higher.

Still wet.

I have a foot to go until I reach the ceiling.

I don't mind the work, but I have to leave for Kentucky at the end of the week and have a bunch to get ready for that. I'm basically going to have to demo his whole shower then leave it like that for two weeks before I can finish it.
