Hey hope its not to late, but that black stuff on the ground is called black out it is a vct tile adhesive, you are not likely going to get it all out, and you don't really need to. I do hardwood flooring and i called the guys at my flooring company who do vct and lino and they said that all you should need to do in order to level the floor is just use a self leveling compound such as planipatch or ultra plan easy and just mix in a primer and it will adhere over top of the blackout. plus the advantage of using a self leveling compound is that you will only have to trowel the edges smooth the patch will level itself.

Good to know, your timing actually couldn't have been any more perfect. Kevin was just setting up to start another cleaning session. Now though he's just going to wash it down to get any remaining TCP off and then he'll prime it.
Thanks very much, I think you saved us quite a bit of time and effort! Its much appreciated.

Ya they guys at the shop said that the black out would have penetrated the concrete making it next to impossible to remove.
glad to have been able to help. Richard

New hot water tank replacing the 27, yup thats right 27 year old tank we have currently. That hot water tank is older then I am...
 Debating using this door, yes its original to the house, on the fishroom door. However I love its vintage charm and am concerned that it will be ruined by the extra humidity.  The new hot water tank gives us our final measurements for framing in one part of the fishroom now!
