Adventures in Plumbing!

I can't tell you how relieved I am to be done with all the plumbing work. One headache of incompatibility after another. No ones fault in particular, but some communication was definitely lost at times. Nonetheless, it all worked out!

You might remember that we started with this:

Under the dust and dirt...

There is a halfway decent looking concrete floor!  It was quite a relief to see, actually. This pic is just a tease of some of our long term plans for the floor....

The electricians have been busy. It's fun seeing our plan for lighting come to life.

Note: the following pics are not the final configuration or bulb types. No outdoor fixtures yet or lamps inside, obviously.

Which needed smoothing out with some thinset, and waterproofing with a membrane layer of redgard. 

Friends and paint and stuff

Thanks to Dave and Ari for helping us paint some ceilings!  Meanwhile, I focused on the master bathroom tile prep.

Getting there!  Hate to spoil it before it's totally done, but it could be a while yet.
