just an update

We passed our rough plumbing inspection!

and the plumber installed a toilet- kind of.

the water isnt hooked up yet, so in order to use it you need to pour a bucket of water into the tank!  but it beats the alternative!

the basement wall framing is underway:



here is an updated basement plan:

we are actually selecting final paint colors:

neutrals, big surprise

and we are still covered in snow and ice, but its nice when the sun comes out and shines thru the icy trees

Full House

we had three trades working at the house today: plumbing, electrical, hvac.

i cant tell you how happy that makes me!  even though we are all in each others way!

pex hot + cold water supplies at ceiling of foyer-  the plan is to drop the ceiling 6" in the foyer to accommodate the new plumbing for the 2nd floor bathroom. 

kitchen sink drain, vent and water supplies

bathtub valve and supplies

bath sink supplies and vent...and the main vent stack

scott and i ran all of the new electrical circuits and roughed in the wiring at the boxes

here is our handy dandy work

the electrician is going to install the new 200 amp panel

here are all of the ends of the new circuit runs that are left to dangle at the panel...until the electrician hooks them up.  it looks messy, but they are all labeled and organized!

the hvac contractor re-used existing ducts in order to re-feed the upstairs bedrooms.

they had to be relocated because they were originally in walls that we removed!
