New Bathroom for 214 -- September 20, 2011

Mercer Contracting, LLC is busily working on creating a new bathroom for the 2nd Level of the 214 South Carolina Avenue, SE townhouse. The townhouse's Level 2 will be the Eighth Grade Homeroom when the Dent Renovations are complete and the faculty and staff return to our main campus.

Not unsurprisingly, the sub-flooring is partially rotten from a long-leaking toilet. Over the years water had seeped in between the layers of linoleum. This mold has to be the origin of the foul smell that has bedeviled the cubby area for years.

Alex Chance and Stephen Mercer are hard at work in this "demo" phase.

The charming '60s linoleum is the first layer in what was a multi-layer linoleum compilation on the floor of the bathroom.
