Not What I Thought... or can explain

Anyone who has ever done remodeling knows there are bound to be surprises when you get to work, often the result of some very strange construction or repair jobs by previous owners. So in our bathroom, I had always assume these two panels were some sort of access covers for the jetted tub.













I took the first one off and thought wow this is the stupidest thing ever. To patch a large hole with a piece of plastic covered in wallpaper and then badly screwed on top is just a terribel way to do things. Now leaves me a fun task of actually patching this hole properly.

But then I realized, that can't possibly have been the stupidest thing ever once I took off the second panel. I can't begin to understand why.

Are you kidding me? There was nothing behind it? ROFLMAO!

Maybe you just don't understand the TX construction biz.

A splashguard?

I was laughing pretty hard, then my overactive imagination kicked in. Maybe the first whole was from a wheelchair, and they installed the other panel to prevent a hole from being made.

both panels were in pretty hard to reach areas. The one with the hole could have been kicked in maybe and you can stand next to it, but the second one with nothing behind is wedged in next to the toilet. In other words, hardly a location suceptible to inadvertant damage.
