The work crew was in our house again Wednesday. Recall that on Day 1, Tuesday, they stripped the tile off the floor to repair the leak damage underneath. Today they laid the new tile.

The tiles still have spacers between them (those little plastic loops) because the mortar underneath them is still drying. The hole in the floor over toward the left side is where the toilet drain flange will be installed and the toilet will sit.

Downstairs they patched up the bits of ceiling and wall they cut open to repair damage from the leak. The drywall patches look great. I mean, they're not painted yet, so that part doesn't look great, but the workmen did a fine job of mudding and sanding the gaps between drywall pieces that it looks smooth and continuous. Once they repaint— which is planned for Monday— this area will look like nothing ever happened.
