The guys were hard at work today putting in miscellaneous details. For example, they have started putting in the mantel for the fireplace.
They have also been working in the bathrooms. The vanity tops, faucets, and bowls are in.
Well, OK, they aren’t totally in, as you can see that the plumbing parts are still sitting on the top.
And also….. mostly important of all…… (drum roll, please)…..
The toilets that flush!
OK. Premature drum roll. You can see that the toilet isn’t hooked up either. But we can dream. But, while we have them out, here is a peek at the magic inside of them that makes them flush.
Oooo. Blue and red. I don’t think I have ever owned a toilet that had blue and red guts. The water comes in at the blue, and goes round and round at the red, and then goes out down here:
And that is as graphic as I am going to let this get.
Meanwhile, some of the closet rods are up.
And (another drum roll, please) the range hood is up.
Well, not quite hooked up yet, but that seems to be a theme tonight.
But notice that the under-cabinet lights are hooked up, and they are really nice. There are 5 units, each one individually settable to off/medium/high illumination and controlled together by a wall switch. Stuff to tinker with!
The door to the bulkhead is up.
And last, but not least, the counter top and upper cabinets in the laundry room are in.
That is a 9 1/2 foot counter! Cool.
Tomorrow is a holiday, but more of this work will continue on Friday.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!
