No pictures this week, because, really, photos of wiring, plumbing and insulation are just boring. But the things we have accomplished this week are really very exciting.
After we got the backer board down in the kitchen, Curtis took a grinder to the concrete so that concrete floor would be level with the wood floor. The tile is going to be pretty pricey, mostly because of the sheer volume.... 753 square feet!! So, we want the subfloor to be as good as possible so the tiles dont crack. Using the grinder worked like a charm and we may even be able to get away without using the extra membrane.
Moving on to other things, we have been working in the laundry room this week. One of the things Curtis really didn't like was having the washer on one wall, and the dryer on a different wall. So, he fixed it. He had to put in a rigid dryer vent, run gas lines for for the dryer, re-do the plumbing and electrical.
It was the cutest thing tonight when the girls got home -- he sounded so proud of me when he told them all about how their mama cut the wood, ran the nailgun, pulled the wires, put in the Pex lines for the washer & dryer.... and I hung the insulation in Cara's room upstairs. That is quite the compliment coming from Curtis -- he has really high standards when he is working and it isn't easy for other people to meet those standards.
