Lack of insulation

This small home had only a paper insulation causing extensive rot. Ultimately the exterior sheathing  should have been removed but it has a stucco finish. The customer didn't wish to follow through with the ultimate scenario. After installing insulation, a heavy poly and new anti-mold drywall I'm confident the rot will not continue.

Condo Bathroom

This dated condo bathroom had lino a steel low profile tub, thin 6" tile walls and carpeted halls over 7/8" OSB plywood on 24" TGI joists. The unit had above ad leaked into this condo which comprised the subfloor. The customer wanted a 1' x 2' porcelain tile installed on the floor usually I'd install an extra 1/2" spruce plywood to reinforce the subfloor. The 7/8" subfloor warped with moisture from above making a conventional reinforcement impossible. To reinforce I'd stapled a plaster mesh and poured a 1/2" floor leveler over it.
The bathroom self explanatory.
