Removing the epoxy from the floor was made easy with Jasco Premier Paint and Epoxy Remover. 15 minutes after application the glue started softening. Removal with a floor scraper was fast and efficient. What remained was easily removed by a metal putty knife. In most areas after removal there is a sticky residue which can easily be removed by mineral spirits.

Fixed a break in the pipe for the garden sprinkler system. Hopefully everything cures okay in a couple hours. It's really tough trying to keep the pipes clean for the primer and glue, especially with ants running around.

The garden Celle started in March starting to fruit: Roma tomato, Apples, Bush beans, Grapes, Figs.  I am quit impressed how fast the garden has impoved.

Joints were thickened with plaster instead of taped with joint compound.

Ugh that's a healthy amount of black mold.

Amazing how much trash such a small laundry room can generate.

So we've finally working on the last few bits of floor removal in the laundry room. This area is terrible because the underlaying MDF board is nailed and staples and glued every 3 inches. Then on top of that is two layers of laminated flooring. Then mold and rotted wood in areas. Yuck!
