Electrical Work Done

Electrician came up this week and knocked out all the electrical add ons and re-routing. Furnace is now working and keeping things warm which is very nice. Tomorrow the insulation company should make it up and fill up the attic and new addition walls, as well as the crawl space and foundation. Should be a big improvement over the very little insulation that is in the home now. Pics to come, soon as I make it up there again. Might be a few weeks with a baby due any day and Christmas next week.

Early December Progress

We installed windows on the addition this weekend. Well, most of them. We ordered 1 too few and one of them that we did get is the wrong size. So we're going to have to wait on two more windows to be built before we can finish up. Here are some pictures of the recent improvements.



Here are the new water heaters just installed. I had planned to do inline tankless water heaters, but the plumber suggested electric because they are the least maintenance and less expensive. Since I won't be living in this home full time he thought we'd be a lot happier with the low maintenance of these. I hope he is right.

Hall bath tub. My wife didn't want a 6' long tub, so we opted for this deeper 5 and we'll build a bench at the end. Hope it turns out. Had to put a window in there so you can look into the trees while you have a shower. I wish i had a before and after pic of this bathroom. It was very small. You can see the holes in the floor where the old toilet and shower plumbing was. The vanity was where the clothes hanger is there. Just really tight. This new bathroom will feel very roomy in comparison.

My bro trying out the master bath. I'm wishing those windows were about 6" lower, but no going back now. It will be nice, the shower on the other side of the room will have similar views.

And finally the new master bath addition. We're getting there, but we still have a long way to go.
