REMODEL WEEK 6, THURSDAY

It started out as fairly quiet week with just Peter and his nephew here working on the tile. By Tuesday everything was up and grouted.

                                                                     Before grout

The plumbers were here Wednesday morning. Faucets all in place, shower heads installed as also the new toilets.

Today was set aside for the electricians. They arrived about 7:45 and went to work,  They were able to get all the lights up except for one. They will put that up next trip. It seems we had miscounted the number of fan lights we had ordered. Last one should be in late next week. They also found we had a lot of cracked switch boxes so they went about replacing those.

We got surprised early in the afternoon. The guys came to install some of the railings upstairs. With the floor work starting tomorrow the temporary railing were going to have to come down. They were nailed to the sub floor.

Railing on the second floor all in place.We got the hammered rails. Right now they are just painted with rustoleum. The painters will do a light sanding and then paint them black

Tilly likes to check out the upstairs but she has been learning to stay at the bottom until I come back down.

We know Peter will be back in the morning to finish up a few pieces of the pencil trim. He ran short the other day. Then he will start working on the sub flooring. Not sure if the electricians will be back tomorrow or early next week.
