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!!!

Destruction:

Eek. The kitchen built-in has been taken out…

…and placed into our still temporary storage area: the laundry room.

Construction:

The wall where bathtub and shower head will go goes up.

The old location of the built-in on the left, the new location of the built-in on the right.

In addition our pain in the ass bathtub has arrived!
