PSA: a quick tile job in my bathroom last Tuesday turned into a full floor replacement after I found a soft spot.

I was just replacing a few cracked 4-inch ceramic tiles near the toilet with a $30 box from the hardware store, but when I pulled them up, the subfloor underneath was completely rotten and spongy from a slow leak I never noticed.

My bathroom floor was like that for five years and it was fine.

That'll change your mind about quick fixes.
