Staples!! Thousands & thousands of staples!! Everywhere!! Ceiling & floor!
I removed the carpet in our bathroom, Why anyone would have that crappy blue color shag carpet in the bathroom I don't understand!
One leak from the toilet bowl and it turns a really crappy brown color. Redo it in tile or floating vinyl flooring but seal the wood with about three or four coats of waterproofing. If your commode is on a wooden riser and the heat duct is by your feet, make sure you keep track of the location. If you have the floor arrangement like ours, with the sink on the right, there is a very short step. Under this step is the vent pipe for the sink.
If you have the vinyl ceiling you had best do that first ahead of the floor. The foam on the backside deteriorates with time and combined with the glue the factory used makes a nasty, sticky mess. (and STAPLES!!!)
I put down Allure floating tile flooring, but the stairwell where our stairs are hinged to provide access to the batteries, was beyond my limited abilities to remove the carpet that provides a seal against road noise & dirt, and replace carpet with Allure tiles.
