Week 8 and we are going strong. The electrician has started to put some of the wiring in. You can see where the ceiling lights will go. There are cables and wires hanging everywhere.
The water heater has been put in. We are going for a tankless water heater. It's going to look nice in the end because the box, which is in the wall, will have all of its plumbing hidden. This is possible because we are doing a complete remodel and not a retrofit. There is no need to be limited by existing plumbing.
Michelle and I spent the weekend pretending to relax on the new patio. Right now it is just a pile of rubble, but we spray painted where the steps will go and decided to make a couple minor adjustments to help with the flow.
We drove out to RCP block and brick today and purchased 610 used bricks. We will use the brick for our new walk way around the side of the house to the Ensenada garden. The bricks were a special find because they are used. They are match the other brick in the backyard that was made in the 1940's. Over the years brick colors and shapes have changed.
We recently purchased all of the appliances for the kitchen and the bathroom. This is a costly part of the project but exciting.
Michelle and I went shopping for bathroom tile on Sunday. We picked out some tile for the walls and the shower floor. We found some rocks that remind us of a surf spot in Mexico.
As usual, Jack is hanging out in the bushes and keeping an eye on things. Ryan, the person we are staying with, has decided to let me build his son a BMX track in the backyard so I am working on jumps every day and having fun in the sun.
GO SUMMER!
