When we first came to view this home, we were overwhelmed by the amount of work that it needed, especially in the “jacuzzi room” that was found behind french doors adjoining the master.

First, it reeked of cholorine with wet green felt “waterproof” floors you’d likely see around a 40 year-old indoor pool.

While the jacuzzi itself was in excellent condition, it was not anything we’d ever want in our home, let alone taking up the adjoining room of what should be a master suite.

Gross.

What’s more, the jacuzzi had been lowered onto a pedestal then the legal room built around it, so there was a five-foot deep mote circling the jacuzzi surrounded in concrete.

How were we going to get this out of the room without costing more than the remodel was worth? We weighed our options.

We could remove the wood sliding glass doors and some dry wall and rebuild a frame and try to reinstall the wood slider until it could be replaced OR we could demo the jacuzzi and remove the chlorine soaked sub floor and put in a new one.

We decided on demo of the jacuzzi and what a mess of a job it was. But, the results were incredible. We now have a complete master suite with adjoining room designed for my wife who has some challenges with her spine and needs a space for relaxation + healing.

Our son and I have the auto shop, so a spa room for the wife it is.
