Under moulding on bathroom outer wall. Is this gap typical?
C-11 , not seeing things first hand I'm going to have to do some guessing , perhaps as you get further along you can verify some things .
I think the reason those 2x6's are there is because the floor was repaired once before . The 3/8"-1"foam-3/8"plywood you see in the wardrobe is the original floor . I suspect you will find the double layer of plywood at the door extends all the way through the bath . The 2x6's were to support the patch . I would probably replace the rear section of floor all the way across .Keep in mind that is what I would do , I am not telling you what you should do . I think you will find that you have enough apart at the time to make a good judgement .
The top of the floor should be pretty even with the bottom of the door . It looks like you are missing the bottom sill portion of the door frame which the door closes against .
The black tank comes out from above , only the lower portion extends through the floor . You will have to remove the shower pan , toilet and sink , disconnect the waste pipe , unfasten the plastic surrounds and raise them out of the way to lift the black tank out .
Around the perimeter of the floor is an aluminum U channel that the vertical studs are riveted to and the floor is fastened to . There are at least two floor replacements earlier in this thread with pictures .
Don't loose heart , one foot in front of the other and all of a sudden
you're there .
