Entry for March 06, 2006

Finally slithered under the bathroom to see the plumbing situation. It's a mess to say the least. There is a small stream of water running from places unknown. The previous owner had installed new PVC drain lines into the old cast iron lines. I believe these connections are where the most problems occur. I will be running new drain pipe from a branch of the septic line to the house and connecting new drains to it. The existing bathroom will be in use until I have all new fixtures tied into the new drain pipe.
I installed a pocket door in the mudroom to allow more room for other things without interference of the door swing.
Started working upstairs Saturday afternoon. Pulled down the temporary door at the top of the stairs and started completing the dry wall hanging in that area. I will be working toward window replacement upstairs in the next few weeks. The weather is becoming favorable to complete the replacement work.
Sunday we went with Patrick and Jessica to the formal shop for my monkey suit fitting. 9 weeks 'tilthe wedding. We hung out at P&J's for a short time after the fitting. Jessica's puppy, Lilly, is already doubled in size. The picture is from a few weeks ago.
