Plumbing and Start of Outside Trim

Things have been extreamly slow the last week, little to none has been done. But, yesterday things started happening. Tony started trimming out the windows, see below, and the plumbing will be complete today.


This is the configuration that we are going to use around the windows. In between the boards will be a plywood that can be exposed to the weather.


This is the tubing that is being used for the water pipes. A nice feature is the red for hot and blue for cold.


Some tubing that is in the first floor ceiling.


The hookup for the tub and shower.


Hookup for the washer.


Ice maker hookup, this is important because my wife is a iced tea addict.

Exterior Trim around the Windows

Tony, our carpenter picked up the boards for the trim around the windows on the exterior yesterday. Hopefully, he can start to put that on today.


We were not sure what we were going to do with all that space around the windows, put in clapboards, panels, or what. We decided to put this exterior sheathing and the trim. So there will be a flat area around the windows, if we want to dress it up in the future we can do that but for now this is it.

Sorry the last few posts have not been that exciting but that is how it goes. Most of the work being done is hidden from plain view. I expect the next few weeks things will start taking shape.
