Rain Rain Go Away...

Quite a bit of rain the past few days. Been pretty muddy at the site. As you can see from this pic taken on the second floor, the floor is completely wet. As I stated on Monday, the plumbing work began. Amazingly, they are finished, at least with the rough-in stuff. Basically, all the hoses for water and waste have been ran. All that is left is to put in the fixtures (toilet, bathroom cabinet, sink, etc.). They'll come back once the flooring is done and the drywall is up. Tomorrow is an inspection of their work.

This is a picture of the half bath on the first floor. You got your hot and cold water (red and white tubes) your drain for the sink and then the drain for the toilet (on the floor). You may ask, "What, no copper??" Well, apparently the cost of copper is so high, that they are using this material called Pex which is like a plastic reinforced with metal and is much cheaper. I'm not complaining. :)

Also, the shingling started today, but they stopped early on account of rain. You can see the guys up there workin their tails off.

Here's a picture of the basement. This is the pipes for a bathroom. It's really important to have this in there if you ever plan on adding a bathroom in the basement. Because on top of all these pipes, they put the concrete floor. So if this stuff wasn't there and you wanted to add a bathroom, you'd have to rip up the concrete first which would be VERY expensive.

This is a picture of the sump pump. Not much excitement, but here it is... in all it's glory. :)

All these contractors have been really cool. Especially the guy who framed the house. He's broke things down so that I can understand it. I'll definetly have to keep him in mind next time I do this. :)
