Jim worked in the control room this morning - he got the gas line permanently connected to the back of the furnace now.
A long time ago, when we first put together the stack, Jim had thoughts of how a system might go together but none of the particulars. So this is the way the plumbing came out of the stack...
That's not the way he wants it set up now so he had to do a little surgery - he cut off the PVC pipe as it comes out of the plug....
He was able to use his heat gun to soften the glue and basically peel out the old piece...
This is the way he has it set up now - the acid neutralizer will connect to one part of this double elbow. The other side will just be capped now but it's available in the event Jim ever wants to add a sink down here.
Over lunch, Jim had to make a trip to the plumbing supply company to take back the wrong parts they gave him and pick up the new ones. He also ordered a couple more pieces.
Once he got back, I headed out. I got to see the finished bathroom ceiling...
Then Jim started doing the trim work on the tall wall. He had to do that precise trimming standing on the very top of the ladder! I held the ladder for a bit of stability but still!
Another wall painted!
Jim still had some sanding to do on these walls from plaster splatter when we did the ceiling. Then he started on the back wall...
Back wall all painted!
While Jim was busy painting, I did some clean up work. We are going to be thinking about floors very soon (SO exciting!), so I did the first pass with the vacuum in the second bedroom to get all the plaster dust off.
Since it was a warm day, Jim opened up the garage door so I could do some cleaning down there. This is our mountain of cardboard boxes that have accumulated over the winter from purchases - crazy! So I broke them all down and loaded up the back of Jim's car so he can take it all for recycling tomorrow.
