More house work

This weekend was a busy one. We moved majority of the furniture out of our old house. The only thing that is left in the house is beds and a lot of odds and ends that needs to be put into boxes. It is hard to leave the old house. We have made it ours over time. Now we will be working  hard to make this house ours.

 

Last week, we were working hard to move the gray water lines. The sink is being moved and a door is being put in where the sink was. Here is what it looks like. 

 

 

 

 

Last Thursday, Tim and Tim poured concrete to cover up the hole for the gray water. Cannot really tell in this picture that the line was moved. 

 

 

 

Saturday, we spent a lot of time doing electrical work. We ran a new electrical line (which is heaver than the old one) for the water heater. It took a lot of wire to run it up the wall across majority of the house over the garage and down to the electrical panel. We also added a bunch of outlet boxes. One can never have to many outlets in the kitchen. I made a few request. There will be a light switch controlling both fans. I also asked for a couple double outlets (4 plugs) and outlets and light switches together. Tim even let me put them in. There are still a few more that we are adding but have not been wired in yet. 

 

 

Because we put a door in where the sink used to be, we are closing up a door. This will allow me to have a lot of counter space. Here we are building studs to put up so we can attach sheet rock. 

 

Here is the doorway we are enclosing. I cannot wait to see the finished product. We cannot put up the sheet rock on the inside yet because we still have to put in the gray water vent. This goes up the wall into the attic and out of a hole through the roof.

 

 We still had to prep the laundry room for a new floor. The saw saw with the scrapper blade did not work on the linoleum. So we had to get a different tool. Here is Tim using the multimaster with a scrapper tool. It took a while to get up the glue.

 

 

Here is the tile floor going down. Mom is putting the tile down for us. It should hopefully be done by the end of the week. Fingers are crossed. When taking pictures, the walls look blue, but the paint is not. It is green. Still have not figured out why the walls keep showing up blue. 

 We did make it to church Sunday morning. This is what the sky looked like when we existed yesterday.

 

 

Still have a lot to do with the house. Finish the kitchen is the major project. We still need to make a few more decisions. Backsplash and counter tops. After the kitchen is done, we will tackle moving all our out buildings from the old house to the new house and tackle the unpacking of all the boxes
