Well, Dan has been very busy the last couple of months. First we stripped everything out of the original bathroom. Then we opened up two new doorways into the bathroom. One from the kitchen and one from the bedroom. Since then he has been working down in the crawl space under the house. He has moved the well pump to a more convenient position for maintenance, Ripped out all the old cobbled together plumbing, drains and water supply. Then started the process of installing all new lines water supply and drains. He has been like a prisoner trapped in the dungeon.
But we were finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Everything is ready for the final hook up, but I wanted to get my flooring installed, so that we could bring any pipes up through the flooring rather than having to install it around them. And that has caused many delays.
This is custom ordered flooring, which I first ordered July 31st and they said "that will be 3 to 6 weeks for
delivery, we will call you when it comes in." OK, we will carry on until it gets here. Then August 26th we get a call to say "Your flooring is in." Wonderful, we go to
pick it up and order more of the same for my porch on August 28th and it is the wrong
damned colour. So we make them take it back and re-order the double order for both bathroom and porch and of course are told again, "that will be 3 to 6 weeks for
delivery.", now we are thinking should we go ahead with the plumbing and lay the flooring after ? or ? But we got a call on September 9th that our new flooring order is here. Unfortunately it is still not the exact colour I wanted, but it's better than the first error, so I settled for it, as we have to get on with this. So I got busy right away and the flooring is finally installed.
.
The bathroom door into the kitchen is hung and the fibre glass shower base is in, protected by an old shower curtain for now.
The utility closet for the hot water tank and water softener is all wired up and the water supply lines are all in for the hot water tank. The water hook up should happen this week. If all goes well we should be ready to move back into the house by the end of this month.
I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
