Changes they are 'a comin!

Lots of progress today.

First and most importantly, all 4 of our inspections passed (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and framing).  This means we can proceed with insulation and drywall.

Insulation scheduled to begin tomorrow, drywall on Thursday (though that might have to be pushed back, we will see).

Also, the storage unit was removed today.  Not quite sure why but I was a bit nostalgic seeing it get loaded up onto the trailer.

Finally, we got our first toilet and sink installed today.  We installed the basement bathroom toilet, finalizing things with the sewage ejector, and go the laundry utility sink installed.

So, now we have an actual bathroom AND a place to wash hands/paintbrushes.  It may sound simple but it is a big psychological/symbolic step.

2nd floor wiring nearly complete!

I am pretty sure all of the 2nd floor circuits are in place in the box now.  Just have a few loose ends to tie up and then we can move down to the 1st floor.

Today the plumbers installed the upstairs hall/shared bathroom bathtub.  We still need to build the wall on the end.

Basement apartment bath framing

Dad and I framed out the basement bathroom walls today.  Took a bit of time to get going but eventually we got our rhythm and got what we thought was a lot done.

The main driver for this was that the plumbers need the walls to be in place so they can run the plumbing vents.

Tomorrow we will finish up on the basement laundry walls and then probably switch back to electrical/wiring.

Porta potty is in place!
