Plumbing

This week was all about plumbing -

drain pipes, to be exact.

It's definitely progress, but not really too exciting.

It takes a while to plan what needs to go where.

Assembly takes quite a chunk of time too,

 especially when you run into issues like drains that 

happen to fall directly on top of or very close to floor joists.

Yeah.

That's a pain. 

Here are a few photos of some of the work from this week.

And, hey, they're pipe pics, so don't expect much.

Okay?

The upstairs laundry room washing machine and floor drain. 

You can also see the closet flange (toilet) and sink drain

for the half-bath in the background.

I know...

exciting stuff.

I told you.

This is where the washing machine, laundry room floor drain, half-bath toilet, 

half bath sink and master shower all converge.

I've lost you now, haven't I.

Aaand the vent and drain for the basement kitchen(ette).

C'mon...

just one more.

Last, and certainly not least, the kitchen sink drain.

There's more, but I'll be merciful and spare you.

Mr Mossi is a pretty good plumber, butt I told him that

if he really wants to be legit, he should quit wearing a belt.
He said he could do without the wisecrack(s).

In other, slightly more exciting news...

I went and approved the granite slab for the perimeter counter tops for the kitchen.

I haven't decided yet on a slab for the island.

I also approved the slab of Carrara marble for our master bath.

I'm hoping we have enough of that left over to use in the basement bath.

And I finally initiated the order for the custom brick mould for our front door.

Aaaannnd...

a stone mason randomly stopped by and asked if we were going

 to do any stone on our exterior.

He gave us a pretty good quote.

I drove around and looked at some of his work.

He'll start as soon as we get our 4-way inspection done.

Hopefully that'll be in a month.

(that's a tall order, but a girl can always hope)

That's about it.

Thanks again for stoppin' by.

We sure do appreciate all your support and encouragement.

Good night and God bless.
