Great Kitchen Remodel of 2011: Subfloor and leveling

It's time for another update! Over the last two weeks, Darren had to replace a giant piece of subfloor. I didn't get a picture of the giant gaping hole, but I did get pics after it was fixed.

Notice how a giant portion of the floor looks new? It's because it is! This is where the sink used to be so it was all rotted underneath.
That's Darren sweeping up getting things ready for backerboard.
This section is bad news. The floor wasn't level.. It sinks towards the back left corner of this picture. So they laid down pieces of plywood left over from subfloor repair to try to get it closer to level then poured self leveling compound down to fill in the gaps.
This was after the first batch of self leveling compound.
This was after the second batch. You can't tell, but some of the plywood is sticking up on the other side. That's going to be sanded down before backboard can be put down on top of it.
This is the backerboard pre-tile.
And this is Loren and Darren just overjoyed at working. Next: Tiling!!!
