Our River House Fixer Upper - Week 4

 Our house has new plumbing, all new lines under the house and everything in "roughed in"!  We had the plumbers install two outside water spigots, on either side of the house, for my future gardening water needs!  Inside, we opted to go with a tank-less, on demand hot water heater.  The plumbers worked quickly and finished in a couple of days. 





The tank-less water heater mounted under the stairs



Master bath with new plumbing


Our special order bath tub arrived and it is huge.  Captain Man and I are both tall and we like to soak in a nice hot bath after a long day of work.   Most tubs aren't quite long enough for us to stretch out so we bought a six foot tub.  It is also a steeping tub to allow a deeper water fill.


 

Cannot wait to get into this tub!



And here she is placed in the master bath




The guest bath also has the roughed in plumbing completed.  It is going to be small, but functional, with a corner tiled in shower.


 

New plumbing!



There was a new electrical main panel box installed a few weeks prior.   We are now  re-doing all the wiring.  



New panel box installed some time earlier

Lots of new wiring and sockets and switches.   This house did not have any lighting for the stairs, so we are placing some type of wall lighting along the staircase.




Wiring for new hallway sconces




Our washer and dryer will go into existing closet space that is located in kitchen/dining area.  This is a move from where it was located in this house, so all new electric and plumbing!

Another busy week at our fixer upper!  A friend of ours passed by this week during his daily walk and stopped to ask "how's it going?"  "Working hard and it is going slowly but surely" was our reply.  He then stated "you two sure love a project, and big ones at that".  Captain Man and I looked at each other and thought for a second "no we don't".  We like to relax and enjoy calm and peace.  What are we doing!!! This is anything but!

Until next time....

Enjoy!
