electrical and plumbing

Electrician was here.  

turned out the kitchen was ALL on the same circuit, fridge, microwave, dishwasher garbage disposal, lights.  anyhow you get the idea.

So... he needs to do alot more work than originally planned.  

This is what it looked like after the first day.  

He came back tonight to finish up.

The plumber came and put all the fixtures in, 

then found that the bathroom sink was backing up into the tub,

 so tomorrow Roto Rooter is coming.

But on the bright side I like the new faucet. 

Shed

Shed is looking a bit worn.

I pressure washed the shed, but there still is a lot of rust.

So I painted it with rattle can rustoleum paint

I also had someone move the farm gate to behind the shed.

inside there was a hole in the floor so I put 1/2 inch plywood over the whole floor.

Tub/ crawlspace

Hard to see in this shot. 

No lights in the bathroom.

They came and re-surfaced part of the tub.

They noticed in the bottom it was coming apart.

Years ago the tub split, and we hired someone to resurface the tub fix the split, and put a hardening foam under the tub.   They did a bad job. 

 The tub guy peeled the fiberglass piece up in one chunk.  

He said on the bright side since the previous person did such a crappy job it will make it easier for him to remove all the old so he can use the proper materials.

He said the old fix was the right idea, but all the wrong products. 

 He did all of the tub except the bottom. The part he did looks great!  like new.

 He will be spending the whole day here fixing the rest next Friday.

I was in the crawlspace today removing an extension cord that was stapled to the floor joists.

I noticed something weird in the area of the tub.

It was foam.  It is like Styrofoam, and really soft.  I can see why it was not the correct stuff to use to support the bottom of the tub.

Painters

Painters were busy while I was away.  

They are painting the doors.

also are caulking and painting all the trim.

They were in the house for 3 days

The contractor is going to trim it out.  

got a nice slider with the blinds between the panes of glass.
