The shower drain had corroded some year back. So there was a lot of moisture here. The walls and drain were not hot mopped when the shower was built, so the walls and built-in hutch were molding away.
The sill plate that the walls are built on (and bolted to the slab with) had rotten away to compost
with roots growing in it. Also, I was able to crumble the studs in the walls to about 2 feet up with my hands. This is also the only area we found that was damaged by termites.
The exterior wall that covered the old garage opening was rebuilt completely and bolted it to the slab. We built a wall separating the laundry area from the toilet area. The home will now have a separate half bath. We added a window in the new half bath, and filled in the old laundry room window.
We are now also drywalling this with a new drywall ceiling and can lighting.
