We've been lucky up to this morning and haven't had any major roadblocks. However, that changed when we ripped the existing tub out -- so after many trips to HD and redigging out the crawl space (GROSS!), we managed to re-plumb the tub and put it into place. Today was also the first day I had to wear a face mask. Bought the tub, toilet, and tile and plan on putting that in tomorrow. Dad and Jack came out in the afternoon to help and we also went to pick up the washer and dryer. It's the stackable kind, but it seems a bit strange -- I think we'll bolt it to the wall just to be sure it doesn't wiggle around.
Rainy and stormy here all day, which prevented me from doing any further painting -- so that's my first project in the AM. My arm feels like it is going to fall off from swinging a hammer all afternoon (pounding down stubborn nails and staples in the kitchen subfloor) and I'm looking forward to painting tomorrow instead of nail duty!
Very tired now and plan on going to bed early after long days and late nights. I need to catch up on sleep!
Relaxing in the tub early morning... :) (Like 6 AM early morning. Blah.)
Work space is getting crowded! Especially today because we couldn't take anything outside.
The hole in the ceiling actually got fixed today, but I forgot to take a picture of it. (The plaster that you can see is original to the house -- meaning it's 110 years old!)
Fitting subfloor into the bathroom -- but this had to come up again when we put the new tub in. Mike spent 15 minutes in the crawl space putting all of the plumbing together. I was using the table saw on my own during this time. No big deal. (shoulder shrug)
I should've taken a picture of this before I was tossing it out the window (into the dumpster) because the pile was 3 times as high: bricks, cinder blocks, baby bottles, wire hangers, newspaper, broken glass jars, gloves... all covered in dust and insulation that was making us gag.
Obviously not set up yet -- but yay for some appliances!
Help from Jack and dad.
Ahhhh good night! I'm exhausted!
