I'll bet you wish you had linoleum that looked as good as this. Not only was the floor thoroughly discolored, scraped up, peeling off, and ugly, but the subfloor beneath the toilet had rotted, and while the toilet was stable, it was slightly tilted to the right, which was quite the surprise the first time I sat on it. While my dad was here for my graduation in April, he graciously gave up one day of his vacation to help us fix this disaster. Here are a couple pictures after we took out the tub and toilet:
In this picture, you can see the slanted floor under the toilet
In the morning, I helped my dad measure and lay down the new subfloor.
Sean got off work early, so in the afternoon he and my dad worked and putting down the new laminate flooring. I say new, but really it had been sitting in our garage for at least two years. Luckily, the previous owners had extra flooring from remodeling the kitchen and there was just enough for the bathroom. Really, there was just enough. We only had about a foot of flooring leftover that we didn't use.
Now really, which one looks better?

I had forgotten how gross that old floor was! As much of a pain as it was replacing it, I'm sure glad we did.
It looks great!!! What a wonderful dad. The before and after pictures are quite the stark contrast. Love it!
Wow, much improved. Old houses are awesome. I'm impressed you found a 111 year old house in Provo. Nice work!
