things are fast and furious. money's flowin. STUFF. IS. HAPPENING.
the the pictures are HERE.
here's a rundown of the current activity:
Plumbing = 80% done. currently, they are digging down through the concrete floor of the basement to extract the 60+ year old main pipe that leads out to the city sewer line. the old one is rusted and full of dirt [at least I think its dirt]. they have finished the rough-in plumbing [everything behind the walls] on the top floor and main floor. they just need to hit the both kitchens [main kitchen and basement] and the basement bathroom. some minor additions and touch ups are all that's left after that. They are expected be done Friday 5/14.
Electric = 90% done. they have wired the entire main level of the house, save for a few spots in the kitchen. they need to finish the basement and then they are done with this phase of their work.
HVAC = IN PROGRESS. they just started today. it should only take them 2 days to finish it up.
Other Progress:
1 - the rear deck has been torn down, to be replaced with a new one.
2 - once the rear deck was removed, they laid down a fresh layer of concrete in the rear to serve as our parking pad [good for one very small car...like Jenny's Mini-Cooper]
what's next: the roof [finally], rebuilding the back deck, and wiring the house for Audio, Video, and internet [which I'll be doing with an assist from my brother, Ted, who's coming down from NY]
and: a sign of the end stages coming near: we're ordering the bathroom fixtures [sinks, tubs, faucets etc.] so they can be installed next week.
on and on to the break of dawn....
