Ripping up ugly carpet can be very satisfying, so Fenchurch decided to share the experience with a friend who came to town to help out around the house. (Fenchurch clearly knows how to show her guests a good time.) Zaphod obligingly removed the fixtures (for sale, should you want them) to facilitate the ripping process.
Under the carpet there was a layer of vinyl, and around the tub, a clear plastic floor mat with little spikes, like the ones you see in offices. Clearly we were not the first ones to notice a leak.
Fenchurch and friend used a heat gun to pull up the vinyl floor. Fenchurch only "missed" and caused heat bubbling in the paint on a very small section of trim.
After that, a section of plywood came up. (Fenchurch was permitted to use a circular saw on the floor. No one was injured, including the saw.)
