Well the best laid plans are not going to work with the house, not that we are surprised…but sometimes you just want it to go right so you can move onto the next project or just stand back and say “this project is complete”. So the tile I had picked out and bought for the 1/2 bath isn’t going to work as somewhere along the lines they moved the toilet and needless to say, WAY to much concrete patching work that any type of tile I thought I would go with would have made the tides coming in jealous. We had to go with plan B (thank goodness we didn’t make it to plan Z). We ended up with backer board or cement board anchored to the concrete so we had a level playing field (ha – floor). Here is what we have – not grouted yet, that is a quiet project Chad can do while I work this week.
While this was going on, of course, we cannot just sit and wait for glue/thin set mortar to dry, no, we have to keep destroying. So here is the laundry room… ready for destruction and then what we found (but this one we expected).
Gotta love the 80’s vinyl flooring…um, no! However, notice once again we have sheet rock down… the first weekend in the home, we noticed that the water pipes to the washing machine were leaking. Knowing we had a couple weeks before we were really ‘moved’ Chad fixed it enough so it wouldn’t leak, but not right. Hence we knew this would be part of the laundry room project so here it is… new pipes, valves and moving the dryer vent as naturally this is NOT set up the right way. Builders should really ask me how a washer and dryer should be put in correctly. (kidding!…but my way is right).
Not to think this was enough for the weekend, on one of our MANY trips to Lowes/Home Depot, Chad started the front sprinkers to find that one decided to break and cause a small water bubble under the grass – so we had to solve that real quick! I have 2 videos, but just found that this site doesn’t allow for videos to be posted. Ugh! If you want a good laugh, let me know and I’ll text them to you!
