We had a large setback in February with the original plumber we were using on our project. It turns out he was/is inept. After taking what seemed like forever to get the plumbing installed, his "handy-work" failed the plumbing inspection, TWICE. And he didn't seem to be in any kind of hurry to fix it. Worried that we were likely to have more problems down the road, we fired the plumber and hired a new guy - the veritable "Mike Holmes" of plumbers. The new plumber saw fit to rip out what was installed to start from scratch. Fingers crossed, that the plumbing inspection planned for tomorrow passes.
On other positive notes, over this past week, the electrical and insulation is finished enough to drywall. The drywall is set to be delivered on Wednesday and I should have more to report with pictures next weekend. We expect to have two full weeks of drywall work (including the mudding and taping).
There are a few walls that already have drywall because that was necessary to contain the soundproofing insulation for all the bathroom walls. We expect our place to be extra toasty warm next winter given the spray-foam insulation in all of the new exterior walls.
Stay tuned for more next weekend.
