Today was time to do some initial prep work for installing the air conditioning system. He has ordered one kit of the plumbing connections to see if they will work. First job was to take off the mirror from the dresser - we'll be moving it back and forth and the mirror Jim made is so very heavy!
We discovered when we moved the dresser recently that it didn't have good glides on the bottom. This was a good opportunity to rectify that, so Jim turned the dresser over...
He discovered that one of the original glides actually had a staple through it - so much for quality control! Jim attached the new glides...
Jim started marking the stud location on the wall...
Drawing the locations where he wanted to open the wall for access...
Then he used his vibrating tool to start cutting our wall!
It's never easy doing drywall work in a finished space, but Jim does a good job cleaning up as he goes...
Jim has a trick for getting the drywall piece out...
We have a hole in our wall!
Starting to cut the last one...
We were very impressed with the insulation behind the wall - Jim had glued the pieces to the stud and they were still completely tight and sealed.
Jim's hopeful that he can do all he needs to do through these areas, but he'll do more if he needs to. But for now, everything is back in place.
Jim also worked in the stairwell, caulking the tops of the moulding...
Then he painted the top section and removed the tape...
Continuing around - this top section is all done for now...
Jim also primed the edges of the bathroom cabinet door frames...
