Week 3

Thankgiving week, so a short week. Still, good progress made. All the demolishing is complete. Early on I'd decided to replace the water pipes if they needed it. They did. They were the original galvanized pipes. Now they're new copper ones.

Not everything was smooth sailing. When I went in on Tuesday evening to check things out, I found two problems. Firstly, a scrap of paper with the shower control layout was all wrong. Secondly, I saw the beginnings of a pony wall going up in the master bath.

A quick call to Dennis, the site foreman, quickly resolved both issues. The pony wall framing goes away and I create a diagram of the control layout over the weekend.

Next week:

Finish rough plumbing and carpentry upstairs. Finish rough electrical downstairs. Start rough electrical upstairs.
