So my shower and tub are gone, gone, gone. On the first day, they removed most of the tile from the shower, revealing a disturbing phenomonen: the only thing holding it upright was the mortar. Talk about rot! Ick!
I saved a piece of wood to justify the cost of this project ;)
That being said, tonight I returned home from a weekend away to basically "day 2" (they worked thursday and friday). The removal of the tub revealed some super looking subflooring - ie. I actually thought there would be rot damage to the subflooring but did not expect the walls - instead we got the opposite, which is in fact cheaper to fix. Removing the rotten wood also revealed plaster and lath in good condition. So, fingers crossed, I think the damage is limited to the shower stall.
Phew.
