BRRRR!!!! Feels like February

Went up on Friday looking to work on the bathroom, Friday was rainy, dreary and cold. Yucky weather. Totally depressing. We burned a ton of wood to get house warmed up enough to want to even stay over. Saturday we made egg/cheese sandwiches and had a headache moving in so we worked on easier projects. Installed first wall upstairs to help frame in the bedroom.

We also ran electrical wires for the ceiling lights upstairs. Should be able to prep for insulating the roof next month. We have a couple of outlet boxes to install but that will not take long to complete. We purchased a new crimper for the pex pipes and should have what we need to run water lines in the bathroom.

The boys were all helping me get stuff done, as long as I was rubbing their ears!!

April 14th- crawling in the bathroom

Weekend of FUN!!! Hooked up the drain on the bathtub. Set new record for trips to hardware store (5) plus Home Depot.

Not sure how I will get under the backpart of the bathroom to hookup sink and kitchen drain yet. Pretty tight fit.

Once done we looked at the door frame as another request for privacy was made by the wee one. And lookee there, it doesn't fit!!! Not only the rough opening but the door will swing into the tub. YIKES! What happened?

Long story short we moved the wall 6 inches out to make it "fit". Only thing I can think is the plans were for a 28 inch tub and a 30 inch door. we have a 32 inch door and a 30 inch tub.

Destroyed the 10 foot drywall around door as we tried to remove it. What a mess. We got wall moved, looks fairly straight and ready for new drywall.

Bathroom is now the quest so we will be beating up the plumbing next couple trips.

We did have some fun, took dogs and kids for walk, hit Subway for a poorly made sub and then walked to the beach park. Hunter was first to go swimming and then Hank jumped in as well.

Sunday was grey and rainy, no motivation to do much. Read about 100 pages in my cabin book and laid around.

April 7th Easter weekend

Well last weekend our trip got cancelled  due to stomach issues, flu,rotovirus, whatever it was we were not doing much but hanging on. Good Friday drove up and crashed at the G'parents so kids could visit. Saturday morning got to place around 6:30, built a fire in stove and put the coffee on to brew. Had breakfast at the "log cabin place" and they asked where the kids were.....people starting to recognize us.

Anyways we worked on drilling out the major holes for the upstairs wall and was able to get the stair light circuit and the fan circuit run. Broke 2 drill bits doing the holes. While the battery was charging for the drywall cutter we also worked on hanging the insulation and drywall in the bathroom. Got that hung then started working on the tub. Ran the lines to the "solar shower" tank and got them in place, just need a tank and a "solar thingee" to make the water hot now.

Outside wall REALLY leans out , tub surround will need a large shimout to make it stable and straight. More custom work!
