Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Hard Core Remodeling but Were Afraid to Ask Part 6!

Disasters happen.
 Sometimes, you live in them.
But don't despair, Besties, there are always ways to save the day,
and we're going to show you how through
 Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Hard Core Remodeling but Were Afraid to Ask!
Let's say you open up a moldy wall and  find this white strip of light.
 Yes, light.
That would be something referred to in the trade as
"outside."
 The wood we pulled out was in bad shape.
 I mean...bad.
 So, remove all of the rotted, scummy crap.
 First, spread a little concrete down, then a waterproofing paper that will also
help insulate the room.
 Then, reframe.
 Tomorrow, we're going to get low and level as we show you how to fix a floor.

Ooh, that was a bad scene. A baaaad scene. Glad 'outside' is no longer part of the structure!
