The hidden parts and more...

The plumbing is nearly complete at this point. You can see the nifty pipes and shower drain. Plus Karyn came over to check it out.


We have gotten to the stage where lots of people come over and seem to be dragging stuff around through our walls and ask you questions that seem easy, but that you later regret your answer.

For example, "Where do you want the pendant light to be over your bed, near the pillows?" I think about it for 3 nanoseconds and say "Yeah, that will be fine!" Then seven minutes later I realize how wrong I was and then eight seconds after that I forget to call them to change it. Kathy's approach is much different. If they get a hold of her, she thinks about it a little longer, she may call and consult me if she thinks it matters and then makes a decision. In case you are wondering, it is less expensive with Kathy's approach.

This picture you can see that the chimney is gone. We are saving the limestone bricks to use around our flower beds this spring. So, this really opens up the whole entry to bedroom. They will be building a closet where the air compressor is in the picture.

The other fun stuff is that we will have heating and cooling in our upstairs, which as strange as it seems is a big deal in Minnesota. Lots of people have these features in their bedrooms and now we will too!

This where the sitting area will be with plenty of outlets for our rocking stereo system. Or maybe something more practical, like a espresso machine.

The next steps are finishing the framing and get to get the city inspector to allow us to continue.
