remodel warnings!!

a warning to all owners of old homes....this is what you may be living with and not even know it!!! no one likes to do home improvements, but sometimes it is worth it more than you know.
nathan and i ripped out our old flooring last weekend to replace it with new tile and this is what was living under that old nasty linoleum sheeting......totally molded plywood and really old industrial tile....thankfully, we were able to get all of the wood up and clean the tile underneath and can now lay new flooring on top of that....i wish someone could have seen our faces when we thought this was the sub-flooring to our house(shear panic)!!
someone was watching out for us this day for sure...remember to say your prayers!

three layers in view, the white is the remaining linoleum, then the black molded wood and lastly the industrial tile that saved us!!
