No, but my standards for humor might be.

I did not do this installation, so any history of the install would be speculation.

Unfortunately there is no baseboard to speak of in the bathroom. Here’s a better picture of the floor meeting the wall. This extends all around the room.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but this is how I’m leaning as well.

Not sure if it changes anything, but they added what looks like a dark grout or potentially caulking between the wall/floor seam.

100 year old building here. The floors were definitely not level prior to this project. This bathroom was originally two rooms combined into one and I’m sure the prior owner cut corners on the renovation.

Bird.

If I’m going to pay off the loan before the adjustable rate either way, I might as well get the plan with the lowest rate.

When you say NYC, do you mean Manhattan? Or are you just looking to stay in the subway vicinity?

You mention dink for the current situation, but what about kids in the future?

It’s very possible this was installed poorly.

I’ve updated the original post, but no, not wood. Seems like a smoothed slate, I’d assume artificial material.

It’s a hard, inflexible material. I have heard it referred to as composite.

I’ve kind of suspected as much for a while. I can feel certain other areas with a similar wobble.

There’s no give or flexibility to these. I’d say tile of some sort. Here are the sides and bottom:

No tongue and groove in this one. I’d be looking at at least 90 sqft of tile. Pricey, but still much cheaper than going the contractor route.

Yeah it’s a dark grout.

I’m working on finding out the contractor so I can ban them from my coop.

I’d factor in child care for your costs. Not knowing exactly where in Brooklyn you are, but I’d wager day care of minimum of $1k/month (very low end) to $4k+/ month per child. Nanny care is an option, usually starting around $4k a month.

I’d also caution about timing your purchase. NYC reality is cut throat in the best of times but recent mortgage rate swings have left a lot of people “locked in” to the places they refinanced during the early covid days. This makes new properties on the market a rarity and highly sought after. Keep your down payment as liquid as possible and try to keep the timeline on your own terms. You don’t want to be forced out of your building and looking for a new place at the same time.

Thanks for the comments! I’ve always hated the flooring in this room, but didn’t have the hands on experience to say why. My biggest concern at this point is referenced in another poster’s comment regarding floor leveling.

If it’s a matter of replacing tile, I can probably do a decent enough job, but I might be over my head if there’s significant problems with the sub floor.

I don’t think it is. Seems like a large format synthetic slate material.
