Plumbing for master bath sink (wall mount). The black pipe to the left is the vent for the sink, tub, and shower. The shower plumbing will be in the same wall.
Looking up over the tub. Paul framed this out so that there would be room for the venting for the A/C and heater.
We added storage above the washer and dryer and over the doorway into the bathroom from the laundry room.
Some detail on Paul’s roofing/framing in the new section.
More detail in roofing/framing. AND, the mechanisms to hang the panel door going into the study from the porch/family room. We’re going to hang the door that currently separates our bedroom and bathroom here as a panel door … and are on the hunt for old french doors. Saw one that we loved at The Bank… but it’s match was gone.
We have Air Conditioning!!! The new A/C is to the left (duh) and is for the back of the house. Paul did a great job building the platform. The crew that installed the compressor said that it was, bare none, the absolute best hook-up they had ever seen. This is the trend now that we are subbing out projects… everyone who comes to give an estimate about falls over at the quality of the work, are dumbfounded when Paul explains it was all him, and then offer him a job.
More details of the platform and hook-ups.
Finishing framing above the storage area in the laundry room.
Paul was really proud of this job — it just came together perfectly.
See the air vents? Paul is embarrassed that all the studs don’t line up and would want me to say that.
Some insulation protecting the gas line. See the box to the bottom left? That is where the swinging door will go — leading from our bathroom to under the washer/dryer. This is where Scout will have his own private litter box “room” (accessible from laundry room). Complete with an outlet for a nightlight. We’re not kidding.
Detail of drop ceiling above master bath.
Porch/study venting.
Blocking edges to prep for drywall hang.
Bathroom vanity cabinets ordered 2 1/2 weeks ago (3 week lead time).
Laundry cabinets ordered 1 1/2 weeks ago (2 week lead time).
Porcelain floor tiles ordered for bathroom and laundry (~7 day lead time).
Plumbing fixtures ordered 1 week ago (3-4 week lead time).
Insulation for extra walls (in renovation/new spaces only) blown in on Tuesday. This was pushed back from last Thursday since we weren’t ready.
Paul is working on pulling electric and Cat-5 wires and installing recessed light boxes and switches. Lots of walking around trying to figure out where we want switches and plugs.
Paul sawed out the back wall so that our closet opens within the bathroom. We’re drywalling over the existing closet opening. Big mess… our clothes hang on a makeshift rack in the front room area and the house has lathe dust from the work.
Hopefully, drywall at the end of the week?

…and Paul was also famous for being able to fix up old 1980’s arcade and pinball games as well. A rare and important talent for us game geeks. Great work, Paul.
