- primed the old refrigerator area
- grouted bathroom tile
- installed shower surround
- installed toilet
- installed light fixtures in bedrooms

Had a handyman come today to review some projects (licensed electrician). He is putting in wiring for a hood and a dishwasher. Running plumbing lines for said dishwasher and removing old plumbing from the closet toilet. Plus, he will be putting in a new hand railing outside. He is also working on the circuit breaker box, there are too many outlets on too few circuits, so he is going to fix some of those for me. Work will take about 2 days, and he is scheduled for Wednesday.

House rehab week in review

Got a good chunk of work done this week.
- tiled kitchen floor
- primed and painted kitchen
- installed most of the upper cabinets
- put underlayment in the bathroom
- removed plywood from the shower area
- planted grass seed

The shower was a real pain. For whatever reason, the previous owners put up plywood instead of backer board on the plumbing wall. So, that had to be taken out. The faucets were very difficult to remove, but with a good chunk of swearing and elbow grease, they finally gave way. They are back in place again in the picture, since we need water access for cleaning and such.


Now we need to put up new green board and then the shower will be ready for a surround.

Kitchen is really coming along nicely.
