Plumbing and the New Kitchen Door


Just a couple photos today, this one of the upstairs bathroom at the top of the stairs.  Nice and shiny but I may regret all that white!

And we have hung the permanent kitchen door. I  painted it the accent color of the house, same as the the dining room door onto the deck.

The Beginning of the End


As the saying goes, the plumber is the first to arrive and the last to go.  We have reached the stage of asking the plumber back to install the fixtures.  Here Albert is cutting out the Formica for the installation of the kitchen sink.

Just a little taste of how much sawdust is incurred during a house renovation!

And of course there has to be a "little problem" at every stage.  This is where the dishwasher is to be placed and secured to the inner walls of its cubbyhole.  Blocking needed to be installed for the screws to have a place to go besides just the thin walls of the cabinet.

This is the upstairs bathroom sink and refurbished cabinet in the room that used to be Thurston's.  

Up-close shot of the sink which we purchased second-hand and the nice new faucets. Tomorrow the plumber will return to finish up with the rest of the fixtures. ( no photos of the toilets, yet!)
