About Me

I wanted to thank everyone who was interested in my house construction. Despite how much I hate blogs this would be the easiest way for me to share the progress. No talk about me standing in line at Target or other stuff no one cares about. Just construction, Good and bad.

Primer, millwork and LEAKS!

My roommate Dave was able to prime the entire hallway today. That was a big bonus. The craft paper I purchased the other day is coming in handy. This way the floor can stay covered until all the painting is done. 



I tried to fix the leak in the trap today. Jason even came over to help out. Unfortunately this expensive vanity and fixture came with a crappy trap. It looks great, but one of the connections at the top of the trap is not holding. I went to purchase a new decorative box trap at Lowes (trip number 49) and that is much better quality, but is now too big. Since the drain was set too low and I had to add two street 90's it is now too tight for the Lowes box trap. Not sure what I can do about this... I'm going to see if Jason can do something about it. If not I may have to call the plumber back. This could turn into an expensive pain in the butt.

Yesterday when I said the shower would be ready for use today, I was wrong. The shower control is also leaking... It has a very slow leak. Jason thinks the part is just bad. I have to call Moen tomorrow and ask them to replace the part. Not sure how long it will take for them to send, but HOPEFULLY it will be easy to swap out and will do the trick.



Unfortunately all I was able to do today was trim the bedroom and closet. I still have a few more pieces to add to the closet. I have half of the bathroom left and and then I will be done with the trim. 


Shelf and rod in the closet.

The built in shelves in the bathroom are painted.
