Today my mom hung out at the house to be there while the plumber came to fix, well, pretty much everything and while the carpet cleaner did his thing. As far as the plumbing goes, i'm super excited to have this taken care of. There was a crazy laundry list of things that needed to be done, but here are a few of the highlights:
Move the
water softener heater (good catch Mark) to a location that actually makes sense, ie. by the boiler:
instead of back at the entrance to the killing room where it was (on that dark slab):
He also fixed the venting for the washer (check out that wall. can't you feel the 1800's calling your name. Its pretty awesome)
And re-ran the waste pipping for the washer in such a way that eventually we can add a bathroom of the master bed:
Not to mention re-routing all the soft/hard water lines since they were completely switched. Mom quoted him as saying "they got creative" with the plumbing, so i'm pretty relieved to get that fixed before we move in.
For good measure, Matt and i also did some painting to round out the night
Yes, that is me being eaten by a cabinet in the top photo. If anyone decides to crawl into our bottom cabinets they are going to be pretty impressed with the fact that even the tops of the shelves are the correct color. Not that anyone ever will, but just in case...
There's a good chance Clara will be in your cupboards someday, and she will appreciate your hard work! :-) Great progress!
ReplyDeletePretty sure that's your water heater, not softener, and um....yeah, creative is a common way to describe a lot of things in that house. Fortunately, that exposed wall behind your washer/dryer is going to get you light switch control of the upstairs lights, so don't cover it back up yet! We'll get you all updated and soon. It's a great project.
