On Wednesday, I talked to a plumber about coming out to take a look at the house and provide an estimate on finishing the plumbing work. Since the house is a mess I went down there Wednesday night to clean it up some before our meeting Thursday morning.
I ended up simply standing the flat wall that I’d built to go between the freezer and the coat room because it was the easiest way to get it cleaned up. Then I spent a couple hours re-stacking wood, sweeping and doing general pick up. By the time I left, the house was looking in much better shape.
The meeting with the plumber went well. He said that he’d have to redo some of the waste line plumbing that I’d done (because it wasn’t totally up to code) and that he could do the water supply and propane plumbing. He gave me an outside time estimate and it would ensure that this work gets done much faster than I could and to a level that I probably couldn’t do. Both Amber and I are ready to move forward with it, it’s just a matter of taking a look at our finances and seeing how we can fit the cost in.
I’ll be finishing the tile under the woodstove and hopefully doing some grouting this weekend in addition to more electrical. The the vertical for the woodstove wall will start next week.
Let me know if you still need vents – if you can just give me a sketch or something so I have an idea of what you’d like it to look like, we can get an idea of cost!
Thanks, Jonathan. Yes we still need the vents but we’re not in any hurry. We’re going to lay out the wall tiles leaving space for the vents and just install them down the road.
