February 2010 House Projects

Knock Down The Wall
The wall between the bedrooms. This is where we left off.
The wall taken down to prepare for closet and door.

The Plumbing Work
The shower pan installed with drain.
The shower head.
Hot and cold water for the vessel sinks and electrical for sink outlets and new light.
Sewer and water for the toilet.

New Sewer Line
The new pipe laid out for installation wrapped around the entire back yard.
This end of the pipe will go in first.
In this video you can see the old pipe being pushed out by the new pipe. You will also see how relatively easy it is for them to break the old pipe. It is Orange burg Pipe - layers of cardboard and tar.

Framing The Walls
This is the rough framing for both the shower walls and the master closet walls.

Finish The Electrical
Added an outlet in the master bedroom closet and the light switch for the back yard light.
Pulled out the old hallway door to this bedroom. Added some studs, closed the hallway opening with drywall and installed the master bathroom heated floor thermostat.

Installed Insulation
Added insulation in shower walls and around toilet to help with noise transfer between rooms. Added insulation to exterior walls.

Added Wood Floor To Closet
