Plumbing

I'm finally back, I spent some more time in the hospital, better now. Also, our contractor has been busy doing some other work the last two weeks so not much carpentry work is getting done. The wiring is almost done and the plumber had been busy last week.




The plumber stubbed in some piping upstairs so we will not have to tear out any walls or ceilings when we finish the upstairs sometime in the future.


The hookup for the washer and dryer in the half bath/laundry downstairs.


This is the bathroom connected onto the bedroom downstairs. This will be our bedroom suite until we complete the upstairs we will then move our bedroom upstairs and this will become the guest room.


Holes drilled in the joists to run the water tubing. We are going with flexible tubing, I believe it is PEX.

Electrical Stuff

We just got the new electrical service put in. This is the outside box and meter, the meter was put in a few days ago by the power company. We put in a 200 amp service, which should be enough for us.


The box inside that holds the circuit breakers. The first thing put into our utility room. Because we have to cram so much in this room, the circuit breaker box had to be put on this wall 4 feet from where the electrical wire comes into the house. Code says that we have to put a shut off outside because it is SO FAR WAY FROM WHERE IT COMES IN TO THE HOUSE. I guess they have that for a reason, safety first.


Our first official plug which is in the utility room.


Where some of the fixtures will go, here we will have an overhead light and CO2/Smoke alarm.

The Front Door is In

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I spent five of the last six days in the hospital with complications from getting some kidney stones lasered out.

Here is the latest addition to the house...a front door.


The framing of the front door.


Here it is, it is 8 feet high and 36 inches wide. We thought it would fit the feel of the building.
