Time for the weekly update on the painfully slow progress we've been making on our downstairs bath!
I already shared the design plans, budget and timeline (although I've finally let go of the timeline and kind of don't care as long as we finish by Halloween, ha!), the fun of demolition, regrouping after we found damaged subfloors, and putting in joist bridges and two layers of plywood to create a new subfloor (aka, oh-thank-god we no longer have to look at our crawlspace from the bathroom!). All caught up? Ok then!
So this past weekend we had some goals. Plumbing and electrical. I don't even know why I bother to share (or set!) goals anymore. We never get through all that we want to, and everything takes longer than it should. And then even longer. Oh, and then one of us jinxes something by saying "that shouldn't take too long." And it takes longer still. And then we get tired at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon and say "screw it, we're done for today" and go have a drink out on the deck.
We haven't lost motivation on this project yet, but our momentum has definitely slowed down. But it's ok, that means less pressure, and we don't have to kill ourselves working overtime in the process!
But anyway, back to the actual progress we made this past weekend. Plumbing is done, whoo-hoo!
And like everything, it was a lot more work than we were anticipating--we basically redid everything! Here's why, with a look at the old shower plumbing.
