Actual Install, Not Destruction

Inside a water meter
Much progress has been made, I just haven't had a chance for updates. We found out that our water meter was cracked and getting the replacement plate took longer than expected thanks to the Post Office losing it in Elk Grove Cottage (or something like that), Illinois. Now that it has arrived and been installed we are able to move forward with plumbing and not haul 5 gallon pails of water from the apartment to the house. It also makes clean up a lot easier.

Currently our only source of water at the house is the outside spigot

 Getting the bathtub in and level seemed difficult enough, but getting the floor level is proving even more difficult. We've used cement board and a bunch of mortar in an attempt to hide the 1" slant of the room. It has been a messy job.









We've built the supporting wall for the plumbing of the shower


Kevin's parents came out yesterday and helped us with the tiling of the bathroom floor



They also helped with insulation in the kitchen ceiling.



Our Kitchen Cabinets have been delivered. One whole pallet of boxes.
