8/25/24

The weekend of 8/24/24, we worked more on plumbing and water lines, removed & closed off the bathroom window, insulated the bathroom wall, and started framing the bathrooms. The temps were > 107 degrees all weekend and were officially 112 degrees and unofficially 115 degrees on Friday. It was brutal! The fan just made it feel like spending 12 hours a day in an air fryer. 

8/11/24 & 8/18/24

 The weekend of 8/10/24 was very hot, and we still didn't have electricity yet. We began working on removing old and placing new plumbing and water lines under the house and hauled 3 trailer loads of trash to the city dump. We also started working on laying out the bathrooms.

One the weekend of 8/17/24, we finally had electricity. Even though nothing in the house was wired yet, we could run an extension cord and have a fan!  It was very hot. We worked mostly on plumbing and water lines.

7/29/24 & 8/4/24

 On the weekend of 7/28/24, Rick worked on getting an exterior electrical box installed and I worked on getting ant beds and weeds out of the yard.

The weekend of 8/3/24, we started demolition of the bathroom, hall closets, and bedroom wall/closet. The cast iron tub took Rick 2 full hours to break up with a sledge hammer. It was very hot and uncomfortable. The electricity still wasn't on yet.

Here we're starting to plan for converting one poorly-designed bathroom and two useless hall closets into 2 full bathrooms.
