Who would have ever thought I'd get so excited about new copper pipes in this old house? LOL Our home was built in 1950.
Or having a hole cut in the bathroom floor? They do cover it up at night before they leave.
The plumber came today and redid all the plumbing in the master bath for the new shower. He replaced all of the old pipe with new copper.
Bella laid right here on my king size bed with her sheet all day supervising. She did a really good job!
Was able to save the little Weeping Cherry tree. I am so glad. When they took it out, it had very short roots so, we transplanted it to a place where we can see it from the screened in porch.
The rabbits curiously watched thru the fence.
And look at what they saw!!
The deck is all framed out and ready to go. They will be putting the floor in tomorrow. They are working from early morning until about one in the afternoon. This week is suppose to be the hottest week of the year. We are breaking all kinds of records. Later in the week, the heat factor is suppose to be 120 degrees.
They did such an amazing job. There will be two screen doors - one into the back yard and one on the right side of the deck onto a small deck with a pergola top.
These are my screen doors. Sorry, but this was the only way I could photograph them. Aren't they gorgeous?
The smaller deck will go over to that door on the right side of the two windows.
My plants are still green and lush. But, we had 5 1/2" of rain on Friday last week.
So, if I sound a little excited, well, I am. I just wish that John was here to share this excitement with me. We had talked of doing this for so long.
I am so pleased with the contractor I am using. Will give you more info on them later on. They sent me a schedule of dates, who would be here i.e., plumber, electrician, tile, etc. and what their name was.
So far, we are on schedule.
Also, today, they came out and made a template for the bottom of the shower. I know there is a name for that, but I can't remember what it is. Yes, I'm worn out tonight.
Thanks for taking this journey with me.
Enjoy!
Judy
Woohoo! Things are happening so fast! Exciting!

I am so excited for you Judy! It will be so very nice to have a back deck and pergola area! I'm sure you will get lots of use out of it! Many blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI love your screen doors Judy, they remind me of home. It's all coming together so nicely, can't wait to see the finished product! I'm sure John is by your side during this renovation Judy, proud as punch and cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteI love plumbers and carpenters and electricians and roofers and... tradespeople. They take things apart and put them back together again and life gets better. Copper pipes and plumbing, Ahhhh. Deck building, screened porch. Ahhh.
ReplyDeleteJudy, everything looks like it's coming together nicely. I know that you will be glad when it's all through though. Hard work pays off every single time. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

HI Judy, it is looking so good. Your workman are doing an incredible job and you are going to love this when done. I can see you having it all decorated now. Love your screen door. I have the same one going out from my garage and we really enjoy it. Yes, we are in those triple digits here too and the afternoon is so over the top hot! Love the pic of Bella supervising over the work. LOL too cute Glad your little tree moved well and is doing good along with all your pretty blooms. I am disappointed in my hydrangeas again this year. The green is huge but still no buds or blooms. Too much rain maybe??
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and stay cool. Hugs, cm
How nice to get these things done this summer. Something fun to watch happen and you'll be so happy when it's done! Sweet hugs, Diane

How exciting to see progress! You will love it when it's done. Can you send the workers to my house when they finish? lol! It is so hard to find someone in our small community and then when you do, you are on a waiting list and it's a long one. I'm looking forward to seeing everything when it's finished!

Everything looks like it's coming along wonderfully! LOVE the screen doors! I think the word your looking for for the shower is "the pan" I could be wrong. We need to redo our bathroom...that is our next major project! Blessings to you!
