Ashley is out of town on business this week so that means less decorating work and more TOOLS! We're talking running electricity to relocated appliances, installing new plumbing for the kitchen sink, dishwasher, and icemaker, and making plans to add support to the ceiling. The previous owners removed a load-bearing wall at some point years ago and the ceiling is beginning to sag a bit. My uncle and cousin (co-author of this blog) came over to give their expert contractor/engineer opinions. Huge help, that project is a little down the road.
We started painting this week! It makes SUCH a difference going from wallpaper, to finding paneling underneath, to now having modern colors in the house. It's not done, but coming along. Pictures in a later post.
The countertops are all in, the island is installed, there's one more cabinet being installed tomorrow and then we can finish painting those.
Today was a productive day, but purely in a behind-the-scenes way. The new stovetop is installed, along with its new junction box for power. Thats's the only pic today. I only had my phone.
The new faucet on the kitchen sink is connected, along with all the new plumbing for the dishwasher and icemaker.
The power for the dishwasher is next up, after I crawled under the house (the length of the house) to relocate the existing wire to the new location, only to find it was too short to make it.
Props to my dad for the big assist today.
Everything is coming together amazingly well, can't wait for everyone to see it!
PS: I miss my wife. Hurry home.
