We're getting ready to do some more plumbing
work, to replace the rest of the iron pipe in the house. This will
complete the laundry room project, but will also mean tearing out the wall
in Diane's closet.
Last year, the main event was adding a new
bathroom downstairs. This area was an unfinished laundry room--
just a concrete floor and exposed pipes.

Bob started by replacing the existing iron pipes in that
section of the house, which included connections from the garage,
laundry room, and main bathroom. The water had to be shut off
at the main for THREE days as the old pipes were sawed off,
and new copper piping soldered into place. (Needless to say,
it was lots of fun living with buckets for the long weekend!)
The connections for
the new faucet and toilet were set up, as well.

Next, the walls studs went up. And the electrical boxes
went in. (We had previously had an electrician add another
circuit.) And the sheetrock, which was textured and painted
on the outward-facing walls,
and wallpapered inside the room. We even found some textured
wallpaper for the ceiling, which just looks like the "popcorn"
ceiling in the rest of the house.
A vent was cut in the overhead heat duct...
Flooring went in...
Fixtures installed...
Hooking everything up, and... |
