It may look like Patrick did all the work, but believe me that it only looks like this because he didn’t take any pictures of me working equally as hard!
Something we could work on from home: Stripping paint from the medicine cabinet mirror.
Scraping away.
Look at all those lovely layers of paint.
The paint is gone, on to sanding.
Yay, the easy part is done – the flat back of the mirror!
A lot has happened since we last posted. We now have the electrical and plumbing roughed in. Woohoo! Pictures and more to come soon…
Some more of the bath tub has been framed out. They didn’t check what kind of bathtub we had gotten while it had been sitting there for 3 weeks so had assumed that we got a regular kind (we got a drop-in).
The laundry room has been stripped of some walls.
We decided to tackle the HVAC vent demolition…
The back yard served as a flattening zone. Plus we thought we’d give the neighbors some competition.
Here is where some of my anal retentiveness comes out. I had to sort the dumpster to maximize the space. I think we’d be on the 6th dumpster had I not been doing this along the way.
After a 3 week break of no construction action…
Our kitchen cabinets have arrived! They will have to remain packed up for now.
The plumber has finally come and started putting in pipes.
We discovered some water damage in the dining room.
Hopefully we can pin down the leak.
And in comparison…
…this house was a flat lot when we purchased our house 2 months ago!!!
The first time ever we were able to walk through the back door into the back yard!
Back steps
Starting some landscaping…the fence has been torn down.
Back yard
Next up: the poles gotta go.
