Our master electrician, Jaren Ashe, has us mostly wired-up. An inspection is coming soon which means we’ll be able to roll insulation into the walls and start the drywall!
We’ve been hard at work. Here’s a not-definitive list of the projects we’ve tackled lately:
Replacing studs in the downstairs bathroom.
Replacing studs in the upstairs bathroom.
And my favorite: Putting in support headers.
The one in the picture is the one I did all by myself. It replaces the wall in what will be the laundry room. The header downstairs was an easier job with the assistance of the father-in-law and brother-in-law. Now we’ve got the stairs accessible from the main entrance!
My least favorite: Pulling up the plywood floor in the upstairs bathrooms. The clowns that put it down over the original pine floors probably put a nail every 5 inches.
Some good news came our way yesterday. Our roof “still has some life left,” according to a roofing company that stopped by to inspect it. While the roofer was up there he repaired a small nailhole gratis. Great stuff.
Next project: Repairing the subfloor in the upstairs bathrooms and putting down concrete board and, eventually, tile…
We have a new short slideshow for you. Pay special attention to the ridiculously overcut studs that we’re going to swap out. I’ll tell you, it’s amazing what the former owner was trying to hide in the walls (and steal)!
