Week 12 Sunday

 June 29 2014

Oh okay I realize that none of you are going to be too interested in the following information but it makes me jump up and down with joy.

Down lights and electrical are showing up all over the house.  These are all LED's pricey but they save on electricity and the lights last at least 10 years.

Plumbing is going in the master and I get to keep the Bathroom configuration that I had planned.

Not so in the Guest Bath, but I like this better just thought it would be easier to leave WC in the same position.  These are in wall tanks for the wall hang toilets.  Yea, nothing on the floor to make it difficult to clean.  And they can be installed at the new favorite height 19" . Previously known as ADA compliant but as we age now known as adult height.

Water hookup for stacking washer and dryer in master dressing area.  Didn't really appreciate how convenient this is until we moved to a building without an in-unit laundry.

The plumbers are almost done except the showers and of course I am doing something that they are not familiar with so there is a learning curve and the specs leave a lot to be desired.  Hopefully we will get this straightened out on Monday so they can finish up.

Linear shower drain, no need for a curb, and we can roll right in.

Next week we should finish up electric and the Heating ducts will be installed.  The following week is the AV wiring.  Then all I need to do is figure out this floor.  Seems like I can't do the polished concrete with lite-crete so have to come up with an alternative.  

Really like this look.  They have used Ardex which could be a rather simple solution.  Of course nothing I think is simple ever works out that way.  Will be talking to the contractor on Monday.

Stay tuned and watch the transformation.  If you want a hint of it's future look at my Pinterest posts.  http://www.pinterest.com/jdzinesf/hyde-street-penthouse/
