The contractors did get quite a bit of work done yesterday. All the drywall is up and the taping and plastering has started. The plumber got everything in place and hooked up my new large shower. We completely moved the bathroom, so they had to plumb in for the shower, 2 new vanities and the toilet. We also got him to change the plumbing and fixtures for the 2 other main floor bathtub/showers as the equipment was old. The electricians have everything in, and all we have to do is install what we want to know.
Today, the guys are just working on the taping and plastering and will need one more day for that. Once they are done, we will be priming and painting, then installing the bathroom cabinetry and fixtures. We then have to tile the bathroom floor and install the new hardwood flooring we bought (luckily, we have a very good friend who is a floorer by trade and will be helping). We bought enough hardwood to do the entire main floor, expensive, but it’ll look amazing when we are done.
The pictures below show the work so far in our new bedroom and bathroom. I just snapped them with my iPhone as we still haven’t found the cables we need to hook up our real cameras!
This is just the start of the renovations. We are also completely changing all the bathrooms and changing all the flooring in the house. Of course, we have to fix and paint every surface of the house too! That work we’ll be doing ourselves. And that’s just for this year! Next year will be a new kitchen and all the stuff we need to do outdoors with a new deck and landscaping.
Can’t wait
