we’re making progress! but i think we’re the only ones who can tell.
today we finished all the rough plumbing for the upstairs bathroom and kitchen. yay!! (above left) mathew tried out the downstairs dishwasher for the first time. and it worked! from the looks of it, the dishwasher had never been used (there was an operating instructions sticker still stuck on the inside…)
i removed all the plaster and wood from this wall. previous owners had cut the middle stud (!?) so i replaced it. it looks like i’ve just stuck a new piece of wood there, but it usually involves precise measurements, custom fitting, cutting and chiseling.
after all the plumbing was done we tested the pipes by turning the water back on. thick grey water came out (ewww) a mixture of flux, oxidized copper and white bread. no leaks! after the test we added foam pipe insulation and finally put the subfloor back.
tired but happy. hope everyone had a nice weekend.
