Simple Way To Hide Your Awkward Laundry Closet

What happens here

Begin by mudding up all the drywall seams and joints in the laundry nook, floating the surface to ensure it is clean, crisp, and easy to work with. Following this, carefully remove the existing flooring, which consists of particle board laid over multiple layers of old laminate tile. Use a pry bar and hammer to systematically lift and remove each layer, being mindful of potential hidden materials like roofing shingles used as waterproofing. This demolition step is crucial to uncover and address any subfloor damage.

Goal: Mud and float the drywall seams and joints to create a smooth surface. Remove the existing particle board and tile flooring to prepare for a new subfloor and tiling.
