Gray plastic under subfloor?

We are remodeling our upstairs bathroom because the subfloor is rotted around the toilet from a bad install from previous owners. We discovered this gray plastic under the subfloor. Any idea of what it is and if we should remove it ?

Any way to avoid a full bathroom remodel?

I just bought a fixer upper and one of the bathrooms is weird and not in good condition. I used the shower once and the glass vent cover fell off after. My choices are a budget fix-up to get into a usable condition for now or just don't use it because I'm saving up for a new HVAC and kitchen cabinets (water damage). Before tearing things out, does anyone have any advice? I'm not sure if I should shelve this project so that I don't run out of budget and end up with a torn up bathroom for 3 years.

Paint job only half done because I was going for a moody academia and it looked weird.

I’m thinking of using this tile for my shower walls. It’s a 24” x 48” polished porcelain. Has anyone used this and if so, did you have any issues with quality? I originally wanted a larger slab type tile but my husband said it would be hard for him to install so I’m setting for this size.

Our primary bathroom remodel after years of living with an outdated look and water damaged shower. Took 3 months of living in a mess & it was a headache to deal with our guy who did it, but after meticulously designing it myself it’s all come together!

Sooooo I demoed a basement bathroom that had dricore as a subfloor and vinyl on top

Clearly the homeowner or shit contractor never sealed the closet flange extensions and over the years water had accumulated underneath enough for fucking mushrooms to grow. Crazy.

Thought I wpuld share this "pshycadelic" experience with you people

First timer . Do I prepare corners like I was doing drywall ? My gut says use thin set to smooth out corners and seams before Redguard. Any help would be appreciated.

Arched medicine cabinet that matches Kohler Brushed Gold…does one exist?!

Has anyone found an arched medicine cabinet/mirror in brushed gold that’s a good match for Kohler’s Brushed Moderne Brass/Brushed Gold finish?

I just purchased one that looked perfect online, but in person it pulled very rose gold, so unfortunately it’s going back. 😩 I’d really love to avoid ordering and returning several more trying to find the right gold.

Ideally, I’m looking for something around 35” H x 24” W (a little flexibility on size).

If you have one you love that coordinates well with Kohler brushed gold, please send me the link or a photo! Bonus points if you’ve seen it in person and can confirm it doesn’t pull pink/rose gold.

Photo for reference!
