Bathroom!

It was a complete mess - a previous owner of the house had assed it up so badly when he'd done whatever it was - there was no wax ring under the toilet, he'd filled in the concrete around the sewer hole with road-grade concrete, and hadn't leveled it off... there were two layers of linoleum. It's no wonder the damn toilet leaked from the day we bought the house. The commode was glued to the floor with caulk. Literally.
