What's hiding in there?

We continue to slowly...slowly...slowly make our house into a home.  So, this weekend we decided to attack our tiny half bath.  It would be something quick.  It would be easy.  We could get a quick sense of accomplishment to motivate us onward to tackle more and bigger projects.  No sweat, right!  Eh, not so fast.   We already painted, so we wanted to install new flooring.  Right now two bathrooms and the kitchen and hall are this worn out sheet vinyl that I can't keep clean.  We decided on vinyl plank flooring from Lowes that looks like wood.  It's durable, waterproof, relatively inexpensive, and it looks nice.  Had great reviews on Lowes site. Well, gotta move that toilet, right?  So, hubbs pulls it out and what do we find?

Water!  
Yes, water that was apparently seeping under the vinyl.  This is as it's drying.  It was worse at first.  So, how long has it been leaking?  Who knows.  I'm just glad the floor didn't rot.   Where did the water come from you ask?  From the lovely leaking toilet.  The one with the rusted thingy underneath.  I don't know what it's called.  Well, now the thingy must be replaced.  And by the way- the toilet had to be broken to get it out because the bolts rusted and couldn't be taken out.  YAY!  So, bye-bye toilet.  Woo. Hoo.
Thank God we still had the old toilet we took out of our master bath.  There was no money left for a new toilet.  The budget is tighter than a tick on a fat dog.  Luckily, our supplies only cost about $40.  The Hubbs is working on that bathroom as I type. Why do simple little projects often blossom once you've started them?  I wish the flowers in the yard would blossom as much.  Anyway, I'm glad it wasn't a disaster. After pics coming soon!
