long overdue update!

the fireplace tile surround is now complete. we have grouted it and since it is marble, it was necessary to apply a sealant.



i have recently learned that garbage disposals are called "pigs" amongst the construction professionals...so here is a picture of our new pig! the dishwasher drains into the pig...and since it is all hooked up, we were able to run the dishwasher today! very exciting!


here is a picture of the new washer/dryer unit. it is also all hooked up and we ran a test wash... this washer heats the water when it needs hot water, so it doesnt drain the hot water tank (great for if you are showering while running a wash). also, it boasts an annual running expense of only $30 a year. quite the energy saver!


we also installed the faucet in the bath sink...and here it is!


oh yeah, this was fun....we are changing all of the fixtures in the bath to new fixures that are brushed nickel. so, we wanted a new tub drain to match...and we had to remove the existing drain that is supposed to just unscrew....well, after hours of trying to somehow unscrew the drain, scott took the reciprocating saw to it and finally got it to budge (without damaging the tub--otherwise, we would have had to replace the tub, which would have been a disaster!).
